1) Obviously, drop the price to $175 bones
2) Sell a SKU for $100 that includes only the classic controller and doesn't include the touchpad. Nobody cares for the touchpad. 
- Nintendo can afford this since they're running last gen tech.

They just need to drop the price like $75-$100 and bring out more 1st party exclusives. They also need to actively pursue 3rd party developers to climb on bored. They are terrible at doing that. They sit back and wait for 3rd party devs to come to them and ask for dev kit, which is the wrong way to do things.

Okay, we need to ban the Wii U as a topic of discussion on these boards.

... so sell the system at a huge loss and phase out the periphery that is supposed to be the main selling point of the system? A more reasonable solution is to make killer apps that take advantage of the gamepad in ways that make the Wii U a unique, appealing option compared to its more technologically powerful alternatives.

Yeah been here for a day and there's been at least ten billion wiiu topics. Either Nintendo really individually screwed all of you over or they really just screwed up or this place packs a lot of anti nintendo force

That's stupid and you seem (the TC) to have no understanding of how to sell a product like a game console.

They could conceivably drop the 32GB to $299, get rid of the basic set and make a small profit if they don't ship with the extra stands, charging cradles, etc. Also put digital copies of Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros U on it. (they've likely made all of those games budgets back twice over so shipping digital copies would cost so very little)

They'll be fine once good software finally ships for it.

Plenty of other Wii U topics you could have posted this in.
