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.

You are partially right, but here is why your prediction is crazy...

The gamecube launched at $200 in november 2001. It reduced its price twice, each time by 50 dollars, the first one on may 2002, the second one in september 2003, reaching 100 dollars in 2 years.

By this logic the Wii U can also receive 2 price cuts, each of 50 dollars. BUT the initial price is 350 for the deluxe model and 300 for the basic one. If Nintendo decides to make the same cuts, the deluxe system will be at 250 dollars on 2014 NOT 100 dollars. So your prediction IS CRAZY, because is not taking into account the initial price. If you change it to take that important factor in your calculations, you will see that people will not think is impossible.
