"You'd think the people who want one, have one"

If that were true, many electronics would sell in the billions. people can't afford everything, so of course price affects sales.


I don't buy that.  The Wii U has been out well over 2 years.  a £50 or $50 price drop will have a short term effect on sales like I said.  But lets not kid ourselves.  If someone wanted a Wii U, and hadn't saved up enough to buy one in the 2+ years it's been out then they are likely never going to get one.  

Just look at the Xbox and PS4.  Prime examples of machines in demand, selling, no matter the cost.  

You aren't making any sense. every product will have early and late adopters. there's no such thing as "whoever wanted one already bought it" this early in a product's life. wii u costs $299 since launch and many people perceive that as too much. people also know a pricecut should come soon after two years with the same price.

Oh, x1 having a pricecut of almost $200 in one year is the very opposite of selling no matter the cost. Ps4 sells for a sad reason.
