Will the Wii U get another price cut sometime next year?

I'm thinking we will see a $199.99 priced Wii U around the time Mario Kart U, or Smash Bros roles out, or better yet a Mario Kart Bundle priced at $249.99.

It will get discontinued.

Why would they cut the price at the same time they release system sellers?

This.

They will wait at least another year and see how things are going before they cut again. Because who knows, these games could push the system.

Really? That would be the perfect time to cut the price. At the very least a $299.99 bundle with Mario Kart U. IMHO, the Wii U is still an overpriced console for what you get. The value just isn't there.

Gamecube says otherwise. ) :

True, but that was over 10 years ago. That was a different market, in fact, all three (Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo) dropped their prices early on. I can't imagine Nintendo doing it in 2014, but I can see it happening 2015 if the sales were still low. In saying that, I wouldn't be too surprised if I was wrong though.

One word: Likely.

I don't know if we'll see a price cut, but there will definitely be some nice, money-saving bundles.

I think we will probably see cuts from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft next year.

I dont think it will help it that much unless they can do under $200

$150 is the sweet spot for a PS4 right now.

Gamecube and Wii U are in a very similar situation, graphics and multiplats aside.

I'm telling you guys a Mario Kart Bundle priced at $249.99 - 299.99 would be a smart move on Nintendo's part.

Nintendo need to do something quickly but dropping the price is gonna hurt it in terms of how much they make in terms of either profit or loss.

WiiU is selling pretty good right now.

Hope not.

I want to get one next year, so I hope it does drop in price. :)

Don't worry, it won't. Discontinuing a console so soon in its life cycle is basically a middle finger to both the people who bought one and the developers who have already made games for it. Axing the system will get even fewer developers to invest in Nintendo products in the future and the people who shelled out $300+ on it at launch will be hesitant to do it again for the next console. It's just bad business and Nintendo's not that stupid, no matter what the trolls say.

I'm not really worried about that. The only way I could see that happening is if Nintendo went under.

Their handhelds guarantee that won't happen.

They need to get it under $200. If it doesn't take off then they'll know they're screwed, and it will be time to bail. Absolutely no one is going to buy a Wii U when they can buy a PS4 for just $100 more.
