Indeed. No real price cut will come. Nintendo is still losing money so will sell the Wii U for as high as they still can. Retailers may do some discounts, but it won't be much in my opinion.

I might buy a collecter one if a limited Zelda bundle comes out :p.

Pretty much this for me.

Also when he says that fans should buy one now... really does the think that there are Nintendo fans who have been on the verge of buying it for the last 4 years but now that they are pulling the plug on the tiny amount of support that the system has gotten he thinks that it would be a good time to jump in? Like... how much buyers remorse does he want to give his "fans" who are already clearly not brand loyale enough to have purchased the system already? Insane.

I'll try it one last time to explain why you and others are wrong. First, here is Nintendo's official statement:

"Though I cannot confirm when it will be launched or any other details of the system, since I have confirmed that it will be 'a dedicated video game platform with a brand new concept,' it should mean that we do not intend it to become a simple 'replacement' for Nintendo 3DS or Wii U," Iwata explained.

Now comes an analogy. Suppose Nintendo said this about the new Zelda (obviously not an actual quote):

"Since the next Zelda will use a much more non-linear structure, it won't be an easy game."

That doesn't mean that Zelda won't be a game, despite the words "won't be a game" being somewhere in the statement. Likewise, Iwata's quote isn't a denial of a replacement, it's a denial of a specific kind of replacement, just like the Zelda quote I made up.

Once again you try to brand me as a fanboy or simpleton, but you have to consider that my interpretation of Iwata's statement (which I've held since the moment the statement was made) leads to the inevitable conclusion that the Wii U will be dead as soon as NX launches. That contradicts the wishes of a fanboy. My interpretation of the quote is also in line with what was going to happen all along, so my ability to comprehend words is perfectly fine.

You and others who are arguing against this have a history of looking for reasons to bash Nintendo. Maybe you specifically are just angry at yourself for being unable to comprehend Iwata's quote and seriously expecting further Wii U support, and now are unable to admit it, so you try to put the blame on Nintendo despite a complete lack of statements that would support your interpretation that Wii U and NX would exist side by side. Feel free to make a thread to say that you expected Wii U games from Nintendo after NX launch. Be warned though, because people will laugh at you for holding such a belief when there were no reasons and indicators to believe so.

Seriously. Considering how much NES games and such can go for, especially if still brand new and not opened, if you bought a brand new Wii U and kept it in the box and never opened it how much could it go for 10-15 years from now. 

That would be possible if they had dropped the tablet, and its too late to do it  now... 199$ including the tablet  means that nintendo will be losing 30$ for every wii u unit sold, if not more... ( there other extra costs, like packaging )

Without the tablet we could be seeing 149-169$ prices, nowadays!

Also think about it this way, they've been left with a ton of pretty much unsellable Wii-U models now, with no rebate from Nintendo they're left with the choice of either holding onto the worthless stock or else taking the hit from it themselves and reducing the price. Considering Nintendo isn't exactly great at PR this could be a bad move when it comes to convincing stores to even begin ordering in the NX system, once bitten twice shy and all that.

But yeah when you look at that X1 model with Ori and it has the Rare Replay collection with it, I mean that is 31 games, some of the rare replay stuff are full X360 games too, so absolutesly tons to do with the system for €70 less than the price of the Wii-U, also Argos have an offer of €12 for 3 months of Xbox live with a new console, so if you get that as well you'll have 6 more titles from the Games with Gold on the X1, so a far more powerful console with 36 more games... for €56 less. And the obvious fact that the X1 has a future where as the Wii-U clearly hasn't had one for some time.

Would be an insane time to decide to buy a Wii-U now imo.
