eh
wii U needs a price cut.


No, what they really need is more software.  If they were smart, they would emulate the 3DS (or 2DS) on the Wii, use the WiiU pad to emulate the touchscreen on the 3DS, and offer 3DS games via download or via a cart adaptor.  There are a LOT of 3ds games I want to play, but I have zero interest in another handheld unit...let me play the games on my big screen at home and I will buy a WiiU tomorrow!



Imagine if WiiU had actually got a real price cut along with MK8. Could be pulling XBone numbers

Wii U needs a miracle, really, a miracle like Splatoon becoming the next Minecraft or Pokemon. 

It has games now, it has many of Nintendo's bigger IP actually, there's not even that many left.

I think Nintendo is not going to drop the price because it's not worth it to them. The only thing worse than a poor selling console is a poor selling console you're losing a ton of money on. 



If Nintendo sold an attachment for the Wii U that allowed it to play 3DS games like the attachment they sold for the Gamecube that allowed it to play GBA games, and stop f-ing around and throwing big name home console exclusives (like Smash Bros) on the 3DS which will tear into the Wii Us sales like a lion on some hot fresh zebra ass, and then not returning the favour, eg. Putting pokemon on the Wii U, then maybe, just maybe, this (horriblay sales) will stop happening.

That would be a miracle alright.

Average in June - 28k

Week 1: 25k
Week 2: 23k
Week 3: 19k
Week 4: 15k

Total: 83k~

I'd say about 15-17k now and dropping slowly. When will its next game come out in the US?
