how is it trolling? microsoft has kept the xbox price the same for 5 years usimg his exact strategy

Apples to Oranges. The top end WiiU doesn't have anywhere near the amount of storage a top end PS3 or 360 has.

Here's a way for Nintendo to shave the price of Wii U off by at least $100. Get rid of the gamepad. I know this sounds ludicrous but it could work. I think of it like Nintendo packaging a Wii U with 2 pro controllers and the pro controllers can control the game screen. If you want the Gamepad buy the pack with the gamepad, if you don't buy the one without it. You'll still get to play the games, the old fashioned way if you want. I think Nintendo should try to introduce this idea.

Or... if you want 4 player gamepad play then Nintendo should make gamepads that have limited technology which only transfers game data. It shouldn't do all the stuff the pad can actually do out of gameplay, only what is needed during the game. I think this will push alot more Wii U's out since the cost would go waaaaay down. The gamepad is brilliance but not everybody can pay for brilliance.

Ok this post made me lol

But but but .... even PS3 had 60GB 6 years ago. :( Shouldn't it be higher now? :/

This could be partly due to the unwavering base cost of hard drives - I.E. prices hover around the same point while capacities increase, thus defying the usual economies of scale that allow the bulk cost of simpler components (such as ICs) to drop. While this phenomenon provides value to the sort of consumers who occasionally upgrade their hard drives when they near capacity or hear scary TOKKING noises, it may well create a barrier for console manufacturers against price reductions to that "impulse buy" price point of 99 pounds / euros / bux / space credits. This, along with the old maxim that a console does around half of its sales at the aformentioned sweet spot, is why I wonder if the people criticising the Wii Mini are really all that savvy.

Well, flash memory is expensive, after all. The 32GB Vita stick is selling for about $100, that ain't cheap!

640 kB ought to be enough for anybody.

Is there such a thing anymore? or are we still living in 2006.
