No, a cheaper Wii U would have won. Better yet if it was ARM based and capable to run 3ds games and android APKs, nintendo could have their own version of play store with super easy porting from mobile games, add that to an optional gamepad(console comes with pro controller) with better touch panel and resolution. This way they'd get a real strong software library and unlike any of the competitors. |
Exactly how much cheaper though? I mean I can't see the Wii U moving more consoles than the PS4 unless Nintendo were practically giving it away it was so cheap. Even if it could play 3DS games that wouldn't help much and whatever additional sales it got from that would have lowered the sales of the actual 3DS.

Cheaper as in removing the gamepad from bundle, and making the strongest ARM device for the time, somewhat like shield console, maybe $200~250.
|
That's only $50-$100 cheaper. Not a huge amount of difference and considering the actual Shield hasn't exactly set the world alight either...
Yeah, no doubt it would have done better like that, but beat the PS4? I still don't see it being possible with just that.

Probably not lifetime as this device would need a faster update as the ARM devices are evolving faster. But with a real strong and unique software lineup and half price, I can see it outselling ps4 the first few years.
