Wii U won´t get a price cut this year. I accept bets :D

The 3ds got long term results.  It continues to be the number 1 console week to week.

I think the reason they won't do it is because they have patience and don't want to lose money by dropping price. The wiiu will do well this Christmas with the game they have coming out.  Next Spring would be a good time to do a price drop. Plus they could just bundle New Super Mario Bros U with at 299.99 in a white console and sell every unit they ship this Christmas.

 Here are the bundles that should  be:
            1. Nintendo Land Bundle-299.99$
            2. Watch Dogs Bundle-299.99$
            3. Call of Duty Ghosts Bundle-299.99$
            4. Batman Arkham Origins and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze Bundle-349.99$
            5. Sonic Lost World and Super Mario 3D World Bundle-349.99$
            6. Rayman Legends, Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101 Bundle-374.99$

Sorry if my last response came off rude. I just mean it makes more sense to either cut the price a few months before the holidays to build momentum leading up to the holidays or to cut the price a few months after the holidays to maintain post holiday momentum.

I think either a $50 cut In August to coincide with a new marketing campaign and first party titles starting to release or a $100 cut next April to foincide with Mario Kart 8 and the start of the fiscal year.

At first I was leaning on a price cut.

But more than likely we'll just see new bundling options with some of the newer games coming out. Maybe limited editions too for say Mario or the NSLU game since its the "year of luigi" and all.

The OP makes a lot of sense. A pricecut may come when Mario Kart 8 launches.

Wii without a game: $200 at a high profit, could probably profit at $100 or at least break even.

Wii U without a game: $300 while sold at a loss.

yep, the situations are the same.

look, this crap about the game pad being costy is too old already, if wii u only came with a pro controller it would retail for only $50 less.

what I would do If I were nintendo is this: basic model discontinued, then lower the price of the deluxe to $289 and include a digital version of both Nintendo Land and New super mario bros U. that would add an AMAZING value.

then have bundles retailing for $349, including a pro controler + the following games for each bundle.

Donkey Kong, Mario 3d World, Watch Dogs and maybe Wind Waker or something else.

omg you are too decent for this site! :P

i guess we will see but yeah you got a point too....

and no offence taken :P

I could see this happening minus the balance board part.  A game is one thing but that balance board is not super cheap to make (at least when compared to a game).
