But...  Wii U games are not selling anymore..

I mean, in the last week the Wii U sold only 86,000 units. That is 10 times less than the X1, and 27 times less than the PS4.  

Why isnt Nintendo lowering the price for those?

Because it's pointless at this stage. There's no widely active userbase for Wii U software anymore, so there's no volume to be gained by lowering the price.

Sorry but that just goes against everything you have said in this thread.  

I mean, you said "Nintendo games can stay expensive and sell well for so long because they are more valuable than anybody else's games to begin with."

so...  how come WiiU owners got tired so quickly? It is not like they've already moved on to the Switch.  I mean, even if we assume that every single WiiU owner is gonna buy a Switch eventually, that only means that 7m people haven't done it yet. How come these people are not seeing the value of such high quality games?

I mean, we have games like ZWW, DKTF, Yoshi, Captain Toad, Hyrule, Pikmin, Bayonetta and Xenoblade, etc., (which are all universally acclaimed) and yet none of them have even reached the 2m mark yet. That can only means that 11 million people didn't see the value in them to go out of their ways to buy them.

Oh! and just as a side note: According to VGC WiiU owners bought an average of 6.49 games.  That is way below the average of 11 games that PS360 owners bought.
