When you say Sony decided to change the price tag before it was too late, you know that they waited 3 whole years until fall 2009 to make it $299? It sold barely past 25 million from Nov 06 through summer 09, then took off at $299 price point selling another 50+ million units. So if we are fair to Nintendo, we can't rule them out until 2015
If true, had Nintendo shipped the U with 4GB RAM instead of 2GB (Or even the 3GB Devkits had) they would be better off with next-gen ports.
Its already been debunked as a pricing error

Calm down you're taking this stuff way too seriously. God forbid people on the web have differing opinions than you.
I don't know if you think I was being sarcastic or what, I wasn't. What's wrong with being impressed by Shin'en's developing skills on a platform, much less a good game like Nano Assault?
Yes, the price is a big difference. Its impressive PS3 sold so much at that price but it still shows that if the PS3 can be turned around and fare well with a high price tag so can the Wii U with an even lower price tag.
Well clearly millions of people who play strictly on mobile phones for various reasons don't feel the need for those titles. I know, its crazy that people have differing tastes than you and me. I don't agree with that but some people don't go to theaters and watch nothing but action flicks without trying drama, horror, other genres. Or some people never buy music or go out of their way to have their own music collection just listen to the radio. It's reasonable to think a lot ...
Actually the source is the conference call that is linked in the article
So how does 4K resolution help Zelda's gameplay? That's Miyamoto's point.
What? How is that comment relevant and relating to this story?
What do you mean? 4K for an action adventure game like Zelda does nothing to change gameplay, whereas Pikmin would be enhanced since you could add more enemies and Pikmin on screen. I'd love to see Nintendo IPs in 4k someday but that doesn't mean they'll PLAY better because of it.
There are already a bunch of 1080p Wii U games and there are more coming out, first party and third party like Wind Waker HD and Smash Bros
WOW They only used ONE CPU Core on Nano Assault Neo. That game is super pretty.
Selling out of pre-orders means nothing. The Wii U sold out of pre-orders too. Everything sells out of pre-orders at some point. Early adopters don't indicate how much a console will sell in the long run, you must understand this.
What?
How much of that is Facebook/flash games? I'd like to know a lot more detail about those numbers, I want to believe it but it is worded way too vague
Are you not paying any attention? They released the first ever DLC expansion to a main Mario game just a few weeks ago?
This isn't a price drop, it's a sale by Amazon as clearly stated.
If the Cube version can nail 540k sales with only 22 million users, hopefully a Wii U version could at least nab that
@dedicatedtogamers
Shadow Dragon, the only FE released on DS in all regions, only sold 10k more than the Cube game, and only 100k more than the Wii one. The GBA games sold 900k-1million and Awakening appears to be beating those.
Most of Nintendo's studios are in Japan and since it is up to their first party software to sell the hardware, thus getting third parties on board due to high hardware sales you can see how it is a chicken and egg thing. Nintendo has to sell it with first party software. Had this earthquake never happened maybe Wii U wouldn't have had such a long drought early this year. Potentially Luigi's Mansion DM comes out late 2012 instead of March 2013, potentially Game & Wario comes ou...
