For starters they need to release more than 5-6 first party titles per year. Having prevalent droughts just strips away momentum

The problem with the current bundles is the lack of options, sure getting 3D world and Nintendo Land is great for some, but not everyone is interested on those titles, I think a few gamers will think about buying a Wii U for Bayonetta 2 (or some other title) if the console was cheaper and Nintendo can do it!, just remove 3D World from the current package and sell it for 250 U$, that is not even a price drop just offering more options (and a cheaper one) to the buyers.

Yeah I do. Somehow Sony have managed 80m+ with every console they've delivered, yet Nintendo's track record isn't nearly as rosey, they've only ever had moderate hits and Wii is the outlier.

Getting anything to sell well is going to require Nintendo taking MS and Sony seriously as competition.

They don't have another shot at that casual market or an IT product, I was say it's impossible for them.

permanent price cut like gamecube had 50 in its first year,it also got another 50 in its second year!it s time, nintendocombine smash bros mario kart 8 effect with aprice cut...

Neither one will do any good. The Nintendo brand took a major hit post Wii and DS. I personally feel that most mainstream consumers will no longer trust Nintendo's ability to deliver sustained value for their home consoles. Back to back home consoles with severe gaming droughts and their inability to foster the driving tech (gamepad and wii mote) for their machines really have left a black mark. Nintendo knows this and that is why their main focus this gen is to milk those customers who are overtly loyal, no real expansion is necessary. For the rest of the gaming public, no amount of advertising or price cut is going to help in that matter.

I'm pretty sure they would be selling Wii U's at a loss again if there was another price cut. If I were Nintendo I would take this time to make sure as many people buy the Wii U as possible at the same price. I see a future of amazing bundles, subpar advertising(which will be a lot for Nintendo), and various other promotionals.

Advertising won't help gamers to buy the Wii U, it never could. Gamers already know what the Wii U is. Advertisement is for the people who owned previous Nintendo consoles but are out of touch with the industry.

Just keep the good games coming and pop singers pretending to enjoy the console

$150 price cut please

60m? Every Playstation will surpass that and even XB1 has a good shot at outselling it.

Think, when this gen is over NES could be down to the 8th highest selling home console of all time, and given this was Nintendo's highest selling console up until Wii ....

40m - 65m is a moderate hit, it's Playstation 1, 2 and 3, Xbox 360 and Wii all selling over 90m that are big.
