Wii-U is already available for under 200? Wii-U basic is already available here for €189 with two games. 8gb or 32gb doesn't really matter that much since both are pretty small.

Why would it need a pricecut. It has the best value!


Because there are multiconsole people who say that they love wii u games but they won't pay 299$ just for the first parties.:P

Since when are multi console owners concerned about money?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Smarch 2015 most likely.



I never thought Nintendo would drop he price this year, Nintendo said it themselves they won't drop the price until after March 2015 so they can make a profit this year.

I expect we will see a massive price cut down to $199 during late 2015/early 2016.



Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

Nintendo wont drop the gamepad..... Stop saying or hoping for that.... It will never happen



No, I didn't predict a price cut. I knew they wouldn't.

They didn't cut the price for Black Friday. I don't expect one anytime soon unless sales drop to almost nothing.



I think we will see a $50 price cut next May to go along with a semi-big game like Mario Maker.

I think that's their best way to have next summers sales on par with this summers from the Mario Kart boost.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Sad really, the WiiU without the Gamepad could have been a great console and one that doesnt frustrate the crap out of Pro Controller users. The amount of things you cant do on the Pro Controller is so BS.



Maybe, but i think the gamepad is not that bad and its an asset for the wii u, and the wii u will probably focus by now on amiibo's compatible games, and we need the gamepad for that
