Will we see next-gen pre-order cancellations now that WiiU got a price cut?

I doubt it, but the quality of the bundle at an affordable price may sway those on the fence. It will deffo tempt some people to pick it up at some stage as a second console.

Hmmm. I've got to be honest if it had been a boxed copy of WW I might have been tempted. The PS4 is not going anywhere, but this is a limited edition =/

No, people won't cancel pre-orders. But, why aren't Nintendo making a bigger deal out of the price cut (it's worldwide cut, isn't it?). I had no idea it was made cheaper.

Make a big deal out of it, it won't happen for another 3 weeks or so, why make a big deal out of it (will make bad sales even worse), they announced it and when the price drops and the bundle is available, thats when they should shout it to the roof tops.

I'll tell you if you can keep it on topic (not like it is written right there in bold anyway). There was barely a summer here in Iceland.

No I mean what genre of music is Alizee?

Of course the WiiU audience lies among those who haven't pre-ordered an XB1 or a Ps4 yet :P

They shouldn't of announced a price cut now then. They should of said closer to the time.

I agree with you, but it is good for the consumer, now the consumer knows, in a few weeks it will be $50 cheaper.

I am glad they announced the price cut on the 3ds when they did becuase I was able to buy my first 3ds, get ambassador and then get refunded the price drop as well.

No, we won't. The Wii U lacks appeal, no matter the price. The price and game library are the no the main concerns of the Wii U, it is simply poorly designed and aimed between two markets, hitting neither and that is why it will never be very popular.
