But the GC did not continue to sell well after or before the wii launched^ plus the Wii sold well because it used the blue ocean strategy like padib said in another thread. The Wii U will be going after both. So the wii really has no chance as everyone will want one. Drop the price to 99 dollars everywhere and it could have a chance.

I Agree I was expecting a price drop to $99 with 2 skus one mario Maybe Smash Brawl or Mario Party and one WIth Wii Party or Sports Resort

Switch!!!

Did anyone really expected Wii sales to grow?
Price cut and bundles can help to keep certain level of sales, other than that the Wii is
dead, is just that simple, its time for U to live ;)

I think Wii will do very well with a 99 price tag. Really good for low income families, those who always wanted one but thought it was too expensive for them. Not to mention that at that price it will allow for a better penetration in some, if not all, south american countries and other markets around the world.

Ecstatic results weren't expected, given how Nintendo basically stopped supporting this system in 2011 (with Skyward Sword being the effective swan song here), but it could help with the final push into the 100 million club.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
