Nintendo will release the financial results for fiscal year 14' on 7th of May,I think in a major financial event like that,it's the chance that nintendo could announce the first price cut of 50$ for the wii u!:P


It's possible but I'm personally expecting the price cut to happen in September to go along with Mario Maker.

$249.99 Mario Maker bundle could give some decent momentum going into the holiday season.


But this isn't too late?Remember,May 31th-August 30th,there was the mario kart 8 effect...160k->90k and then 55-75k baseline!Nintendo would like to continue the current sequential yoy up,and the price drop of 50$ will do that and skyrocket it!The week of release and the after week mainly,is a big obstacle for the yoy growth!I can't say that splatoon will repeat them,or xenoblade x will give the same momentum,it's not impossible but not so probable...

Well with some great bundles/offers I would be more optimistic!:P

I don't know,the fiscal year 14 financial results release which is on May ;) seems to me a great time for the price drop announcement!And since 3DS has surged dramatically because of New 3ds(Call it however you want bro,the rise is very significant),then nintendo is more free to cut the wii u price,right?

Iwata said that only the exchange rates  prevented them to do it,which means that they are planning it and they aren't against it!:P
