| Max King of the Wild said: The Nintendo fans sound like Ps3 fans at the begining. "Sales will pick up after X" "Sales will pick up after Y" "Sales will pick up after Z" The fact of the matter is if you are relying on a game you will be sorely dissapointed. Even GTA4 didn't do much for the Ps3. Even MGS4 didn't do much for the Ps3. GTA sells as much as Nintendos best franchises. MGS sells a little less but is still a massive seller. If you are relying on a price drop you will be dissapointed. The Wii U isn't unaffordable. A price drop will help like the first one helped the Ps3. However, in the Ps3's case it still had a high price point and could look forward to price reduction again. Nintendo is already losing money on the Wii U. One thing Nintendo isn't as good as Sony with is reducing costs of their system. Why? because they already use cheap components that have little room for getting cheaper. As time drags on they will get cheaper but definatly not at the same pace as new technology. So they drop the price of the Wii U... I think they will drop the price but I think the price reduction will be more than the cost reduction. Then when will they be able to drop it again? Okay, let's say that a price reduction and games do something unprecedented. MGS4 increased sales by 141%. GTA increased it by 80%. 299 price point increased it by 80% the 499 pice point increased it by 52%. We also know that no one thing really sustained sales. But lets pretend that everything works out for the Wii U. It gets a measly 50 dollar drop and somehow attracts people. Let's say Mario releases and it attracts people. Okay, let's say it gets a bigger increase than anything the Ps3 recieved AND it sustains sales.... well, the best we are looking at is still someting under 100k a week. |
This is the definition of someone trying to act like they know what they're talking about. Your post screams bias so why even post in Ninty threads? What exactly are those games Ninty fans are saying wait for? They are saying wait for the games, not just wait for Mario Kart or Wii Fit. The difference between what Sony fans were saying wait for and Ninty fans are saying wait for is that the games Ninty fans are waiting for are the highest selling exclusives. GTA is big but it was also released on 360. If it was exclusive it would have helped alot more lol. Just ask the PS2. MGS is not even close to Nintys top tier. The WiiUs price being fair is your opinion, next time leave it out. The market is either telling Ninty to bring the games or cut the price. Ninty believes its the drought, we'll see exactly what the problem is when the games come. Its funny, Sony fans are always begging for price cuts but when someone else mentions it, they are the first ones claiming it wont work. Im pretty sure the 3DS price cut has helped a lot better than any of the PS3s price cuts. The difference between Ninty and Sony is, Ninty controls their own destiny, while Sony's destiny is controlled by 3rd parties. With overwhelming 3rd party support they dominate, without it they come in last.
