If a $150 price cut is what it takes to sell 5 million in a year then I think they are better off keeping it at $299.

Splatoon bundle and Mario maker bundle wont even move units... But yea, this is so unrealistic that its nonsense

That is what is happen for XBO, 500$ to 320$ in a year...

Of course those games will help move units, will they cause huge boosts? Not likely, but they will help Wii U chug along at its current sales rate.

Pricecuts should be viewed proportionally not numerically.

$500 to $320 is a 36% drop.

$300 to $150 is a 50% drop.

Too high, luckily it won't happen, not to mention the XBO came with a kinect at $500.

150$ Wii U + a game + 3 Amiibos? May I get some of the stuff you smoked? It seems to be working well.

Nintendo already doesn't wanna lose any more money, so a $150 console is crazy. But these are what ifs. Even if it did get to this point, I don't think 5M would be attainable. Strangely enough, I don't think price will dictate how well Wii U does in the next years.

That would be amazing. Preferably if it reaches 15m exactly.

But Nintendo being Dumb, Stupid, Ironically Naive and Dumb, Wii U or 3DS will NEVER be launched in China, rest of Europe and a few other potential countries.......
