actually i'd say all the systems are priced pretty well. a ps4 with a great game for 400 dollars is a fairly good price. a crappier version of the ps4 packed with some 3rd party fodder is 350 (xb1). and a wii-u bundled with a fantastic game and a fun distraction for 300 bucks really isn't bad. i think people actually interested in a wii u really aren't going think it's overpriced. At the store i work, we had the 32gb mario3d bundles for 300, or the 8gb skylander bundles for 250. If priced was really that big a deal we would have sold at least 1 skylander bundle. We did not. Not even 1. We did however selll almost as many wii-u's as we did xb1's. People were pretty stoked for that price cut. Those people also really didn't care about nintendo, or were under the impression they were getting a ps4 equivalent at a cheaper price, or were microfans. interestingly enough though, i think the ps4 sold the least of the consols (at my location) this holiday season. People around here are pretty poor though.
I think the people who have issue with the Uprice are the same people that will probably get rid of it within a year regardless. As always i could be wrong though. Who knows, maybe if they made a smash bundle with no gamepad for 250? or MAYBE a smash bundle with smash, Nland, a gamecube adapter and a cube controller for $300?! Do you think THAT would be worth it?
