Forums - Gaming - prediction How long before wiiu becomes 99$

Would be pretty awesome to see WiiU selling for $50 when PS4 and NextBox are selling for $499. Which console do you think the consumer will flock to?

That is not going to happen unless it completely flops and they discontinue it then and need to sell out stock.  It's currently 3x that and Wii is still $130 6 years after the fact so I detect sarcasm.

There is little reason to compare Wii U to Wii. You should compare it to GC, which had its price cut to 99$ roughly 2 years after the launch.

That would be impossible though.  Nintendo would be losing over $100 per console at that price, and would need to sell a LOT of games per console to return a profit.  The 3DS would probably make Nintendo break even.  I doubt they would want that.

The console which has the games they want?

I will talk only about deluxe model and in US dollars:

300 during may or june 2014
250 during september 2015
200 during may or june 2017
150 during holiday 2018
2019 is the launch of the new system and...
100 during may or june 2020



They would discontinue the wii u entirely before dropping the price to $99



The OP is just insulting, and the sig of the creator...wow...

Yeah, he's learned nothing from his multiple bans, his sole purpose on the site seems to be to spew anti-Nintendo propaganda.



can you guys stick to the topic or ignore, its just my prediction, no need for personal insults, i think lego city under cover saved wiiu from being under 40k this month, the system is selling worst then gamecube and gamecube was 99$ in its first year or second, so nothing crazy about this prediction in my opinion of course.
