No, there wasn't. The Wii U's price was cut to $300 in September 2013. |
Twas a joke mate.

There is no reason for them to cut off the game with the best legs when they can focus resources elsewhere and launch next system with mario kart again. Two Mario Karts on one system would be redundant, which is why its never been done and won't be done now. If it had only sold a few million because people were like oh its just a port that would be one thing, but its the best selling game on the system by far, so there is zero reason to break the mold and have two karts on one system. I definitely don't think this will be the peak year. I imagine next year will be it if they can bring out a couple 10+ million sellers in the Fall plus a price cut. I guess its hard to say they need to cut the price when they are gonna sell 20 million in a year, but with new systems coming out and the system passing 3 years old it makes sense to cut the price to keep it low and competitive compared to new systems. With basically no competition next year I'm guessing they will wait to cut the price until the holiday season, though if sales start to slow in the summer if they don't have much coming out in the summer I could see them throwing the price cut in early to get a mid-year boost. I'd say price cut, AC in March, BotW and a brand new 2D Mario series in the Fall could drive a 22 million sales year as Switch's peak. |
"There will definitely not be another Zelda on Switch. There's no reason to cut off it's great legs when they can focus resources elsewhere and launch the next system with Zelda again. Two Zeldas on one system would be redundant."
lol but true. That it hasn't been done before isn't a reason to not do something, they can and will if they want to. MK8D by itself will undoubtedly sell less than MK8D + MK9.

Now the Switch sells in a regular week what the WiiU sold in the peak holiday sales. It's pretty surreal. I'm hoping for a resolution on the drifting issues so I can get one for myself. |
If you don't plan on playing it handheld too much, a Pro Controller will absolve you of that issue.
