Dude, OP! What is this thread?! This isn't a "possible" scenario. This isn't unlikely or even plausible. In what world would someone cut the price of their console by 50% over the course of a year? You only see that kind of thing in Going out of Business sales that you see in the mall. Come on with this click-baity thread title nonsense!
That said, selling 5 million consoles will have nothing to do with price reductions in 2015. A steady stream of releases throughout the year combined with smart marketing will give Wii U a shot to accomplish this. Amiibo is smart and I think will help consoles a bit into this year. Kid will start noticing these figures, friends will start sharing and it will get Nintendo back into the hearts and minds of the youth - rather than the nostalgic nerdy 30-something (a demographic in which i reside and play into).
Also... ever notice that certain casual games are still selling in the millions on the Wii console? Just Dance 2015 (released 10/2014) has sold 1.65 units on Wii. The Wii U has failed in cornering the casual player market that helped them explode in 2006-2007. The good news it's not too late if they can figure out how to reach these consumers. Maybe, prompt Wii users to download a Wii U preview channel when they log into their Wii console. Tapping back into this casual demographic will be key because let's face it - most people who are super ultra pumped about buying Zelda U - Xenoblade already own the console. There aren't many more people in this hardcore /nostalgic demo that they need to reach still.
run away!
