There she goes again. At least she's sticking by her word. When she's wrong she'll probably claim that it was a last minute change. Let's not mention that Nintendo would have shot their foot in the foot again. The casual gamers who play here and there are going to get the more powerful console because they see more value in it. they see that the extra $100 is the big bang to their dollar.
Where I live a lot of people see the Wii U as an incredibly over priced console for the value it provides. It only really sells because of Smash Bro's and a few other games. A lot of these people only play shit like Madden, NHL, and CoD... and they work a lot.
So once again, Nintendo would be selling a console that may be cheaper in price than the competition, but no matter how awesome the gimmick is. People will see it as a more expensive console and will not consider it's value with a second look.
I doubt Nintendo will make that mistake again, and Emily Rogers isn't providing any evidence to make me think otherwise. It's not even convincing in consideration of other rumors out there.
