Does Wii u need price drop?

I might consider Wii for $100 and even then it would just be an impulse buy. Platform literally nothing to offer me at the moment. Zelda and Metroid are the only Nintendo IPs l like.

I think the console is pretty much dead in the water. Even with a price cut there simply aren't titles to support healthy sales.

at £200 for a 32GB with a game I will be far more likely to pick it up.

WiiU needs either

- Price drop to 150$, in which case i would buy one for Zelda WW remake

- No price drop, but a proper real new, proven great Zelda, in which case i would instantly buy the system at its current price

I am never buying a Nintendo home console again just thinking that Zelda will be good, since i did not like either Zelda TP or Zelda SS much, Nintendo has lost that "blind buy" edge they had back in Zelda OOT, MM and WW days

And I would like a PS4 for $200 too

Getting rid of the Gamepad and removing retarded gimmicks would be a good step. Mario 3D World had elements like blowing into fans that required the gamepad. They need to scrap that shit.

It needs to dump it's Gamepad and it would drop by say 50 or 100 then I might get one but at this moment in time no chance.

200 or lower. I got mine for 180 euros with ZombiU and Pro Controller. Below 200 is "impulse buy" territory for me. Wouldn't spend 250 - 350 on a WiiU.

$250 sounds fair......but they also need phucking games. Nintendo only cares about the 3ds for the time being.

I think it's a bit too pricey with their gimped network, underpowered console, and gimmicky gamepad. $250 seems about right. The gamepad seems like a cool idea, but there's little implementation of use for the thing and the battery life sucks. It adds too much expense to the system which could get along just fine with the pro controller or just a wiimote. I'm cool with playing nintendo games in HD, but it certainly only seems on par with the PS3 and 360 graphically and can't compare to either network.

To $149.99 and a message written on the box 'PLEASE BUY ME'

No, not really. It just needs more games and better advertising. Bring out enough games and people will want one. Put a stop to the Wii-addon confusion and people will realize they want one. Anti-Nintendo fanboys will continue to deny themselves enjoyable experiences because they are scared of their childishness.

A price drop doesn't necessarily lead to more sales. People still won't buy one if there isn't games on it they want and/or if they think it's just something you use with your Wii.

@foxhound_fox: It's just a fantasy to say there is a quick fix to this. Nintendo have a very poor image among gamers.

Sony didn't need more games to outsell the wii u already after two months. They have a small library so far but people have faith in them. Gamers know what a wii u is. They simply don't want one. Because Nintendo has an image problem both with gamers and developers.

People will probably feel it does not need a price drop, but even though I am now at the point where I could afford a Wii U, I see no value in purchasing it for the price alone. But I understand why Nintendo will not lower the price for whatever reason.

If i could get 32gig model for 200 then maybe i would consider it.
