Dropping it to $100 would definitely get a big advantage, but that is wayyy too cheap at that price

They really need more bundles with the Wii U though

last time i checked the White model was discontinued. i was referring to the Deluxe bundles. have the console and include a game all for $200

I think that maybe if they drop the price it will have little effect, not because the people don't like the Wii U, but is very easy to see that Nintendo will put all efforts on the NX and the Wii U will suffer the same fate as the Wii.

Doubt it, MS like to give away the console on holiday that even ps4 is gonna have a hard time beating xb1 on holiday.

We talk about Globally sales.

PS4 has no problem to sell more than XBO like all times.

So? Nov 2014 PS4 only won globally by about 200k. Considering Xbox will have Halo and Tomb Raider boosts this November it will be close. I'd expect the PS4 to win still, but it won't be an easy win.

Source? And don't say VGChartz.....................

If you don't like VGChartz figures then why are you on VGChartz in the first place?

Naw. They should remove the controller and sell it for $150 - that is what it always should have been.

Because of Wii U gamepad Wii U have around $50 higher priced, so instead of $300 price would be around $250, so that really wouldn't make big difference.



Miyamotoo on 13 July 2015

Wii U still cost $300 so it not very likely we will se $100 price cut, but we will have around $50 price cut in september-october probably.

Do you realize that official price is still $300!?

If Nintendo could lower price they would that long time ago, $50 price cut in september-october is very possible.

1) VGChartz is not my mai site.

The first is YouTube, after that some Italian site (example: Multiplayer.it), and then VGChartz. and VGC is the only sales site where i am. For now, at least.

I'm a gaffer, and i just expect the activation of my account. Then, probabily i will stay very little time in VGChartz...
