Forums - Nintendo - Is a 100 dollar price drop realistic for the Wii U this year?

Nintendo don't care.

Also, if any, Japan is the region that's getting the most WiiU games this holiday.

I'm not buying until at least a $100 price cut. A system that came out in 2012 still at $300 is pitiful.

If it does happen I'll send you a download code for The Letter on Wii U.

aww



Wii U will probably have $200 price only when NX arrives on market, and that will probably be lowest price for Wii U.



From October onwards WiiU is getting 9 retail releases in Japan, with 4 of them being Japan only.

Well, I think nintendo isn't going to drop the price of the wiiu because even a 100 dollar drop won't make it sell. So why do it at all? If they sell 3 million at 300 bucks, why sell 3.1 million at 200? No price drop is coming.

50$ is more likely and still I don't know why but I don't think Nintendo will cut the Wii U's price :/

They'll need to do a pricecut after the NX announcement, even if it is just to get rid of stock.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

I was talking about this year, I'm shure it'll get a cumulative pricecut of over 100$ after the release of NX



It would help them if they give a 100$ pricecut for black friday, a 50$ permanent pricecut after that and maybe drop it to 200$ next Q4.



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

I'm not even sure they'll drop the price at all. We all think it would be the right thing to do, but I'm not quite confident Nintendo agrees.
But if anything I think the pricecut will be another 50$ one maybe with a very valuable bundle thrown in.
