If they don't fill the space with their own games it could kill their home console hopes. Third party is important but if you have a very low price system and release your own big games on it you can do very well (for example the Wii). On the other hand a more expensive system with no third party can be damaging (for example the gamecube/64). I think Nintendo need to decide; either go for the third party support or drop the price by a lot and release more of their own stuff

$99 WII U, may probably happens.

@Need4game - How misinformed and uneducated can you be ?

That price would be cheaper than the Wii and their latest handheld.

Please think before you type next time, or just stop wasting everybody's time, including your own.

It will drop in Price to $200 at some point, but not until late 2014. LoZ, Mario Kart, Super Smash Brothers, 3D Mario will all help balance this thing out.

Why is it that the least intelligent always jump to these 3rd grade level assumptions ?

Need4Game4681d ago

@3-4-5 - How uneducated can you be ?

feel free to have Knowledge on the meaning of "may" & "probably".

I hope that raise your Intelligent .

LOL i love N4G. Sometimes im depressed and i just come here to read comments to get a good laugh.

Third party support has been one of their biggest problems. Hopefully having the install base grow will get them on board.

Chrisgamerguy4681d ago

Nintendo need third party support. All they have is ubisoft. No ea and no activation not good. I would still buy one if it went Down to $99 tho lol

Xof4681d ago

Nintendo hasn't had much in the way of third party support on their home consoles since the SNES.

Yeah, it sucks, but... it's the status quo these days, and has been the status quo for nearly two decades.

Will Nintendos third party problems finally kill the company?

For a site called gaming precision you'd have thought they would do their homework. Flamebait article, ridiculous statement and.....just no.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi62d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer63d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot63d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno63d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay63d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno61d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK62d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
