Well of course its up cause it has more content to offer... Is there any console that goes up YoY with noticablly less content to offer? Games sell hardware so yea... Makes sense that more/bigger games sell more hardware...

But yes, I do understand that Nintendo should react and it makes the wiiU less appealing and etc but that doesn't mean that Microsoft "just" forced Nintendo's hand loll. If Nintendo hasn't reacted yet, that means Nintendo doesn't care. They might react in the future, sure, but saying that "Did Microsoft just force Nintendo's Hand?" is not really true cause Nintendo hasn't done anything

And heck, if there is a price drop, which I am sure there will be sometime this year, one could argue that its cause it was a natural price drop due to production costs being lowered rather than Microsoft forcing Nintendo cause there was no price drop in 2014 so there has to be one in 2015 or else they are just being greedy. But of course, that depends on the time frame of the price drop compared to x1's price drop

So imo, that title is incorrect since Nintendo hasn't reacted at all and I doubt they will do anything until the next Nintendo direct which considering we just had one, it will be a while till the next one

I didn't state that Microsoft forced their hand, I simply asked a question. That's why I added one of those weird symbols at the end.

I'm asking if, with everything Microsoft has done in the last 2 months and the succes they have recieved from it, should Nintendo do the same to try and increase their install base or do they keep the price and risk a decrease in their current baseline which is already pretty low.

You guys are actually just arguing over the verb tense of the title. He's basically saying that your title should say "Will Microsoft's recent moves force Nintendo's hand?" instead of "Did Microsft just force Nintendo's hand?" Technically, he's right, since the past tense would only be be correct if Nintendo had done something, but it's really not worth arguing over. I think people understand what you mean.
