Forums - Nintendo - Should I wait for the next Wii U price cut?

 

What should I do?

Wait for a price cut. 41 45.05%
 
Buy it as soon as the games come out. 50 54.95%
 
Total:91

There is no doubt that I will eventually buy a Wii U.  The reason I am yet to do so is because there are not enough games to make it worth it for me, yet.  That will immediately change with the release Mario Kart 8 (May 30, 2014) and Super Smash Brothers for Wii U (Later 2014).  Yes, these two games are enough to keep me occupied.  Of course I'll get more later on, but those two will be enough for a while.

I would like a to see a Wii U price cut before I buy one, because I like money.  However, I don't know how long it will be before the Wii U has another price cut, being we had one rather recently in September, correct me if I'm wrong.  

So my question to the forum is would I be better off waiting for a price cut, risking that I may wait a very long time when I could be playing games, or if I should just buy it as soon as MK8 and/or SSBU comes out, risking that I may spend more money than necessary?

In other words, when do think the Wii U will have its next price cut?

If your patient i say wait intill MK8 comes cuz it will be a good time to get the system! It has a nice library right now but i already see WiiU second half of 2014>>>>>>>>first half.



If MK8 sells well there won't be a price cut soon. Iwata said there won't be a price cut but that's what he said last year, too. So the situation has to become even worse for a price cut. So let's see^^



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

Maybe Holiday 2014, but I'm not sure if they'll even have a price drop this year.



There will be some sort of price cut this year. Probably sooner rather than later considering it's down YOY in the US and Japan.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Depends - does money have any value for you whatsoever? If so, buy a stolen Wii U from a desperate crackhead for $35.



I'm hoping for a Wii U Smash Bro bundle with a redesigned Wii U and Game Pad this year. That would be awesome.



If all goes well this year, there will be no price cut anytime soon.

So, they'll definitely be one is what you're saying

That would be as rare as a shiny Pokemon with Pokerus considering the generalization that Nintendo's audience is usually children.
