Yes i say.. :)  becourse for me "casual" are the ones who not buy a console right away.. but first later when there are more games and in most cases the price is lower.. and they have seen it/ know it exist.. and what games there are.. and/or are kids where the parents buy for them.

For me this is pure logic.. offcourse.. its always like this.. hardcore/fans buys early and later more "casual" join in. cant see I should prove that..

My predictions is not based on the assumption of a price cut.. just that that won't do any harm.. I persanally think Nintendo will lower the price to 279 in 2015.. but that is not why i think WiiU will do better.. thats becourse off WiiU it self and the games.  But the pricecut will offcourse only help to sell more.

And i cant see why you dont think that alot of 6-15 years old kids will get a console this year.. meaning parents will buy and pay.. offcourse they will.. and they are very big part any gen

AND last... yes.. that was true in 2014..

But try to think.. ps4 and One was also on the marked... does that mean that kids and more casual 15-25 will not buy a 8 gen console..  NO.. thats only means that they did'nt bought one in 2014..

When they come.. they will look at.. yes you gueest it.. games, price, brand, experiences :)

Casuals come late in the generation for a reason.  That reason is lower prices.  If you think the Wii U can double 2014 without a price cut, what is causing casuals to buy now?  Why didn't they buy a month ago?

Also, while casuals come late in the generation, I'm not sure what evidence there is that they come in droves to Nintendo home consoles.  The Wii U will be entering its fourth fiscal year in April.  Which Nintendo home console peaked that late?  Not the N64, that peaked in its second fiscal year.  Not the Gamecube, that peaked in its second fiscal year.  Not the Wii, that peaked in its third fiscal year.

So you think the Wii U (and 3DS) will double this year without a price cut.  Now think about this for a moment.  Are you making this prediction based on what you want to happen or what is actually realistic?
