Let me know when if I am right. This is an Evolution thread, which means there are probably people insulting people who believe in religion, and those people will call the non-believers Bigots. Because that's every evolution thread.
Nintendo seemed to have had a difficult time in marketing this console. It is hard to understand unless you play it. The assymeterical gameplay. Doesn't translate into words very well. Plus keep the Wii in the name has just lead casuals to think of this as a add-on the the original Wii.
Nintendo has been crippled by marketing. Plus Nintendo should have at least made the Wii U twice as "powerful" as the Xbox 360. If only to future proof the Console when the others launch there next gen machines. Plus it would have encourage more third party development. At least 7 games have been passed over for the Wii U so far.
It will become more of an issue as the Wii U enters 2014,2015 etc.
But Nintendo is standing firm so no Wii U price cut. The console should sell between 21-32 million But there will be no price cut. The others will face the same tough economy that Nintendo has. The Wii U has Sold 3 million since November 18th 2012. Today is just Feb 17th 2013 that is 3 months on sale. Given the bad world economy that is O.K just barely. YEP January sales were jusy 57,000 in the U.S.A but everyone is barely getting by these days.

The "Ipad" seems to be selling well despite not having a number, Casuals aren't that stupid. They did however, put poor support in advertising, and they should have had a game at launch that showed off at least 50% of the Wii U's improved power from the PS3, and the 360, especially the latter as that thing is closing in on a decade old.
