What Paper Mario? Not sure thats going to set the WiiU sales on fire tbh...

Ummmmm... I don't think Nintendo has ever referred to it as Zelda U.  That's just a title the internet gave it.  They have referred to it as The Legendd of Zelda. 

And there probably won't be a Wii U/Zelda bundle... just like there wasn't a Twilight Princess bundle with Gamecube, or a Skyward Sword Bundle with Wii.  Dunno why you'd expect this.

The Wii U did get a pricecut.  The deluxe model is down from its starting 350 to 300, and comes with an extra game.  The reason why the don't cut the price down any further is because they need to make money.  If Nintendo does not see the Wii U having a bright future, there is no reason to cut hardware profits to build install base.

Nothing makes sense in this thread. Hell even Nintendo doesn't make any sense for asking such a high price for a system that has older tech than the other systems out there. I can understand before the new consoles came out but now......
I don't think Nintendo wants to succeed, its like they just quit.

What do you mean the WiiU had nothing else?

Yes exactly.  They realized that they had a loser on their hand, and they got as much money as they could and quit.  Which is why the company stopped losing money.  If they kept throwing money at the Wii U, they'd still be in the red.

Sure, why not?  The exclusives aren't big sellers anyway, except for Zelda U which will almost assuredly be ported.  The games will sell to the 12-14 million Wii U owners.  The rest will be encouraged to buy an NX instead.  And if it is backwards compatible, all the better.

You are right.

But I meant after a failure of a console.

DS was after GBA which was a handheld that was selling very fast and extremely well. PS2 was after PS1 which was the #1 selling console. Master System at the time was pretty successful and that paved way for Genesis success. Again the only exceptions being 360 and Wii.

If the console was failing or had little support at the end of its gen then they in turn released a new console quickly, and then they tend to fail again. People underestimate the later years importance to keeping a brand strong.

Saturn,DC, Atari, Commodore, Mattel, Phillips, NEC, SNK, Bandai.

It is likely you and others will disagree, and I cannot see us convincing each other so this is likely my last post. Just wanted to put some food for thought out there.

I hope the NX bring a new gaming experience like the Wii brought us, because if its just a WiiU with better graphics and interface I'm afraid this won't be enough for Nintendo.
Anyways I'll probably still buy it if it got the same level of quality games as the WiiU got.

It doesn't matter what media and advertisements tell kids because parents are the ones with the money and the fully developed brains. If you seriously think you had any real agency in the things your parents got for you growing up, you've been severely misled. If you wanted something and your parents got it for you, it was a happy accident.

Kids don't like Disney because they made an informed dicision about Disney's quality of animation and writing. Kids like Disney because Parents are told that Disney Channel is good safe television for children growing up so they make their kids watch Disney Channel and because Frozen is the first movie they've ever seen because parents were told that it was going to be a great movie to show their kids and Disney is a brand built with the ideals of teaching kids important life lessons about frendship and kindness and doing the right thing and facing adversery. Kids like Disney because they're impressionable and they will like anything their parents make them like and the same goes for everything else, including and especially video game consoles.

Kids don't choose their consoles. Parents make their kids think they chose their consoles. Because children are children and will like anything.

Yeah, why not? I sincerely doubt Zelda is going to move millions of consoles at this point in the system's life, especially if it's not exclusive to the system. Pump out million or two, then use that supply to ride out the remaining demand.

Well Sony and MS has had success that way...
