Forums - Gaming - How can Nintendo expect to sell WiiU's when they are so damn overpriced??

it's interesting to note that wii u owners must save 150+ dollars a year when you consider free online + low power consumption.

They should cut the price soon though. I'm thinking april next year alongside splatoon. $249 for game bundles ans $199 for a gameless bundle would be great. they could keep those prices untill late 2016.

Nintendo should definitely drop the Wii U's price - at least for days like Black Friday and Christmas sales. The reason? The best thing about this console is its games. They could easily make the money back since attach rates of Nintendo's own software for Nintendo consoles tend to be pretty high.

Is funny how WiiU is selling like shit worldwide but all people that i know having a "new gen console" have a WiiU, and I know 3 families and one more friend that are going to buy one for "Reyes Magos", the christmas present day here in Spain. I just don´t know anyone with ps4 or One, and they all say the same: Ps4 and One is for shooting, WiiU has funnier games, the pad is original and the off-tv is cool, is good for all the family (not only for the teenage boy to play CoD), you can play Wii games on it, is online free and is cheaper than the rest... But then I look here and nobody´is buying the WiiU, nobody wants the WiiU, everyone hates the gamepad, everyone thinks is overpriced, everyone complains about the hardware and no one cares about games, etc etc etc
I´m living on Matrix! And I rather be here XD
I don´t think WiiU is overpriced at all, is the most valious console in the market right now, dont´fucking care about the hardware. But since the people won´t give it a chance at this price, because seems like hardware is everything... they should cut it soon.


That's funny considering Spain is one of the most one sided if not the most one sided country when it comes to PS4 domination compared to Wii U and XB1.



I personally feel the other two systems are overpriced to justify a purchase for what little games they both have.

I could be wrong but according to VGC:
PS4 has 358, Xone has 236 and WiiU has 305 games. So actually WiiU has less games than Ps4 and Microsoft is quickly catching up. Now remeber these 2 Systems are half as old as the WiiU



      
Yup...RO friggin rocked

Plus the Xb1 has already had price cuts. Nintendo needs a pricecut for a system out twice as long and it's not close to competing with them.



Woth buying i mean ;)

Well that is completely subjective. Imo there is not a single game worth playing on WiiU right now (I hope my opinion will change once XCX comes out).
