Price Drop of Wii U systems?

The Wii U is failing badly, had one of the worst launches in history and is making record low numbers in sales this year.

No one should get a Wii U until after E3 and see what Nintendo has planned.

Most of their titles are due at the end of the year and so far they made a record with the Wii U of the longest period ever with absolutely no games available.

It's wise to wait if you can

I doubt it actually. I don't know about the rest of the world, but following the Xbox One announcement, the UK's WiiU sales are right now at there highest. Seems to me people might just have been waiting to see what Sony and Microsoft where going to offer before deciding to pick up WiiU.

No, they're not at their highest, their percentage is up.

Completely different things

I highly doubt the PS4/XB1 will be under $400 and You'll probably see a Wii U price cut of $50 by the holidays

Yes they did, much better in fact

They were completely out of stock, each time stock came in it was gone instantly. The demand for both of them was enormous at the start and both showed huge margins compared to the Wii U in the same amount of time.

No way PS4 or XBOX One come in under $350.

So with E3 not that far away and the talk about the other two nex-gen systems being priced less the the launch versions of the 360, PS3. Could we be seeing a price drop for the Wii U systems if the other two systems come out under $350.00?TEX1251

You're a little bit off. It was the 60GB model PS3 that was sold out as fast as they came in. The 20GB models were everywhere, but people wanted the 'fully featured' one. 360 was sold out for a lot longer than the PS3 was because it was the first 7th gen system on the market, and the Wii was sold out for a lot longer than the other two.

I have to disagree with the 'worst launch' claim. Yes it has been off to a slow start, but the PS3 had very few games for two years after launch. Wii U isnt even a year old yet and there is a lot coming in the back-half of the year. Vita's launch was pretty terrible too, the system is already on life-support and Sony still has shown next to no effort to turn it around. At least with Nintendo we are getting 'Yes, we are working on things' updates. when was the last time Sony said anything about its flagging portable?

I'm hoping they announce a price cut soon or before my 18th birthday. That way I have the money to buy it. Plus the games need a price cut too. $60.00 for a Wii U game? Are you serious? I mean, come on, I know that the 3DS got off to a rocky start, the Wii U needs to get back up to its feet. I'm telling you, Nintendo needs to cut down on the price a bit.

I feel like a lot of you aren't noticing that Target did mark down the white Wii U to $240.ItsEvolution

But that's just the 8 GB basic model.

I want the 32 GB model.

No, that never happened in the real world

In the pretend world that happened, sure, I remember it vividly that President Unicorn said "The PS3 is not good enough for me!"

In the real world though that scenario you said never happened

how does this compare to when nintendo launched the gamecube

I'm looking forward to Nintendo later this year. For $240 and some good games coming out this fall, I can't wait.

I paid $349.99 for the Wii U Deluxe at launch and it was worth every penny.

Then you don't like games

Considering Nintendo has apologized twice now for setting a record with no game releases you must be in heaven. With each company that pulls support from the Wii U you must cheer like crazy.

I just had a mental image of a cat with a dwarf sized boot imprint on its head
