People need to realize that the problem with the Wii U isn't the price, it's the lack of major games. The Wii U wasn't ready to launch in 2012, but Nintendo had no choice or else they would continue to lose money from the Wii. Almost all of the Wii U's major games are not coming out until next year. If those games fail to sell the system, then a price cut might be a reasonable last resort.

The wi was a fad, my mother, cousin and grandmother never gamed in their life yet they all owned a wi each. My office has a wi to play wi sports during our free time.

A lot of people who have no interest in video games purchased the wi. Sure some people who are die hard gamers purchased the wi, but majority of wi owners were not gamers and you're now seeing that translate with poor wi u sales.

The wi was an AMAZING console for what it did, the thing with fads is they are similar to hit songs, a lot of times its extremely difficult to find the 2nd (fad/hit record) .

I've said the same thing before, but some people still say that the Wii stole Sony's marketshare. If you just look at the Wii's main demographics it's little kids and casual gamers- it makes sense why the Wii U's focus on hardcore gamers didn't work. The lack of games didn't help either.

Shit son, you better run for cover 'fore the wolves find ya!

Wii U's poor sales are because the Wii U itself was handled terribly, not because of the Wii. If Nintendo had made a different console, marketed it better, and provided more appropriate first party software, it could have flown off shelves, and the Wii would not have prevented that.

The wii-u is not what they meant....developers left nintendo for a reason, not givn gthe industry what it wants or needs. Eevry said rgiht from the beginning the wii-u was a mistake, Nintendo ignored them.

Why is Sony still using the Camera and Move for their PS4 then? You guys just pick and choose whatever you like to support your nonsense argument. All that money they spent on R&D on the move and camera and they just plan to drop support? That will surely piss whatever remaining investors they have. Lets see who goes third party first.

For fucks sake.. The games industry and media has really brainwashed you all beyond hope of repair.. You hardcore litterally ALL have the EXACT SAME opinion, spouting off the exact. same. jargon.. constantly, like drones, with a hive mind. None of you use critical thinking. None of you think for yourselves.

The Wii was not a fucking fad, it was a games console that lived a healthy 5 years and sold 100 million units. If you call the Wii a fad, you have to call any console that has lasted 5 years a fad.

Basically, either ALL consoles are fads or none are. You cannot have your cake and eat it too, hardcore.

Everyone like who? I think youre the only person who has that idea and is crazy enough to involve other imaginary people. Third parties professed themselves at the E3 revealing that they were satisfied with the Wii U so please provide your evidence where they said otherwise. EA pulled out because they could not get what they wanted with their crappy service. Even to this day multiple people on their forums from as far back as 2009 are complaining about the Origin Store not being able to display in the language they speak and they are not giving the option to change it. They never even reply on the forums because their service is horrible and will always be horrible. Reguardless of what they "claim" about Wii U not selling enough units the 3DS is not getting their support either.

It is what the industry wanted, it's easy to port to.

Your statement is just proof that what the industry wants is never what Nintendo provides (e.g., goal-post moving)
