Forums - Gaming - Now that both the Wii U and Vita have been taken off shelves at Wamart, are they both just as equally doomed?

My speculation for the Vita is that maybe Sony's releasing a newer Vita in time for the PS4, almost like a relaunch.

As for the Wii U.....


I am starting to think that a price cut would help, but that gamepad is kind of in the way. I wish that they could just sell the Wii U without it.

 

But the main thing is to still get the games out. With their new found profit they need to court some 3rd parties. Not that they will ever do that, but 3rd parties need incentives to give the Wii U a chance.


I think that a price cut on both systems will cause them to perform a little better. Vita has two issues the price of the console needs to match the 3ds XL at $199 and come bundled with a game and 1 month trial of PS Plus. The Wii U needs to be $250 and come bundled with a mario game like in the old days. I know these scenarios probably won't happen but they are really good strategies to boost the install base. There needs to be a bundle of the PS4 and PSVita eventually. I think then you will see more 3rd party developers get involved.
