and all I did was point out that the market situation was much different for gamecube. ps2 was the cheapest dvd player and had a head start. now ps4 isn't introducing any media and costs 399. consider the current economy and you will see many people looking at those $299, $399 and $499 price tags and favouring the cheapest.

I'm sure many people will. But saying that It will necessarily be the favorite simply by being the cheapest is a notion that's demonstrably false, regardless of the economic situation. It's very much about value, as you just admitted. With the PS2, there was much higher perceived value, despite its higher price tag, and that's why it so handily won the generation. The same is true of the Wii, at least initially. If value wasn't the important factor and it was simply a matter of price, then we'd be talking about how many dozen times more units the Ouya will sell in comparison to the big 3.

I'm not saying it will be favourite by default just because of the lower price. I'm saying it already has an advantage on the price aspect.

"wii u is the cheapest 8th gen option and the average consumer will favour it."

That was what you said. If you only meant to say that the price will give it an advantage, fine. I was just reponding to what you actually wrote.

the average consumer WILL favour the cheapest option, and that is an advantage for wii u.

the article says you cant, which explains why we've yet to see a DLC for Wii U version. THere is more to this than how much copies are being sold. If people arent playing the game online, COD we talking here, we are less likely to see support for future installments, even if every version of it comes out, it STILL is the inferior version by virtue of not having access to DLC

the average consumer WILL favour the cheapest option, and that is an advantage for wii u.

I agree with this.. and you know I love it how everyone says games and price points/cuts  sell systems(Games mainly) and yet when you tell them Wii U is going to finally get some games.. and will be the cheapest.. now their tune changes.. all of a sudden power matters.. and more memory.. when the fact is.. you can just hook up a hard drive to your Wii U and get as much memory as a PS4 most likely.. anyway.. we will see what happens when the holiday season gets here.. the Wii U actually has some games that matter.. 

That article is garbage.  Many Wii U's purchased at launch were Christmas presents.  The COD Wii U user base didn't hit it's peak until after Christmas.  One week after BLOPS launch there were barely any Wii U's in the wild.  The typical number of BLOPS2 players online now is several thousand, and it is no problem to get a match.  Matchmaking is instant.  It's no 360 scenario mind you, but it is "OK".

it wont be the cheapest, thats the problem, there is still WIi, PS360
