Forums - Nintendo - When do you think the Wii U will get a price drop?

Holiday 2015.



Around the Network

Can definitely see a price drop happening during the holidays.



It's hard to guess what their strategy is. Could be anytime, or not for a long time.

A $250 bundle w/ Splatoon would nail some attention tho.



They'll probably drop it around the 2015 holiday season.



A $250 Zelda bundle for the holidays would be a good decision for Nintendo methinks.

I hope that before Zelda releases but I'm not holding my breath



If nintendo doesnt drop the price i will just buy one used in the end of the year, normally i support console manufactors even buying from their store directly if avaible but the wiius price in unexcaptable to me. And given how reliable nintendo hardware is there is really no worries buying it second hand.



My online systems: Mac M4 Apple sillicon+16 GB, PC Vega 56+Amd Ryzen+32GB DDR4, Xbox Series X, PS4 Pro, Switch Lite, Playstation Vita TV, PS3, PSP

My retro systems: Wii U, DSi, Xbox, PS2, Dreamcast, N64, PS1, Sega Saturn, Neo Geo AES, SNES, Evercade

Well, they're probably still selling off their previously manufactured consoles, and because of that, weren't able to drop the price of them quite yet if they wanted profit. But I do recall Iwata stating that to reach their forecasts, they'll need to start producing more consoles, so there would probably be some price cut in the Fall for all regions when they do so.



Hopefully holidays 2015 at the latest



Summer 2015 onwards. Though Holidays 2015 seems more likely.
