Well, didn't the Wii U barely sell 50k in the US during May, during Splatoon's first two days on sale? I'd argue that one bundle at that one retailer probablyhad little effect. Infact, I can still find those bundles at most of my local BBs though that is ancedotal. Either way, if that bundle made up 50k of 476k, that's still 411k left
They have been pricing some games lower, like Kirby. I'd be happy with $39.99
Yes, I do.

Satoru Iwata said this in early 2014:
"In this perspective, while we are only going to be able to start this with the next system, it will become important for us to accurately take advantage of what we have done with the Wii U archite...
I understand being iffy on Nintendo's account system but "rent"? They let us import our Wii Shop and DSi Shop purchases to Wii U and 3DS despite those older system's archaic online systems. I'm sure NX will, the console version at least, let you play your digital Wii U games somehow. Nintendo did say their next system will "absorb" the Wii U's architechure so I wouldn't fear being only able to play digital Wii U games on an actual Wii U if that's wh...

PGS= Paris Games Show/Week in late October. Infact, it starts the day after Halo 5 releases so if Sony wanted to wait until then to drop PS4 price it would really take the wind out of MS's sales
Count me in the camp that prefers matte and physical buttons. I have a friend who hadn't taken Destiny out of his PS4 since 9/9/14 for like six months and didn't know how to take a game out yet. lol
I'm sure I'm also in the minority of people who want the PS4 slim to be PS2 slim level small (take out the PSU Sony) and want a top loading drive so its old school looking. Better looking than PS3 SS but close to PS2 Slim in terms of opening.
They haven't said . I would expect a $50-$100 cut either for MGSV (9/1), Uncharted (10/9) or PGS (10/28)
I know people say they won't drop it by $100 but they've been making a good profit on the old model since like mid 2014 or early 2014. Add these cost cutting measures and I wouldn't be shocked if this matte PS4 costs around $310-$330 to make which software sales and PS+ could easily make up for.
Also, they likely know Morpheus will be expe...
I think at this point Nintendo doesn't drop the Wii U's price because they'd rather make money off say, 50k per month in the US rather than lose money on say 80k per month.
I am surprised they haven't released a Wii U Mini, like the Wii Mini, that strips out features to cut costs. A top-loading drive, less USB ports, no Wii BC via discs (but still via eshop), smaller Game Pad, etc.
I'd think the longer they go with a $299 Wii U, the more ...
Well that's impossible. I'm not saying Wii U hardware is great but it was and is expensive since it's not off the shelf parts. If a $350 Wii U was sold at a loss with a $80 Game Pad in 2012 that means system had to cost close to $250-$270 on its own
Fanboy article just for the clicks and it worked, its got 290 here on N4G. These reactionary articles with clickbait headlines shouldn't be allowed. How is Fatal Frame finally coming back, a Star Fox reboot by Platinum, a Mario 2D game with user generated levels and a real successor to Yoshi's Island that actually looks hard and original unlike the last two Yoshi games, bad for Wii U?
They have SMT x FE in 2016 and Zelda. Those aren't the only two games they'v...
We also need more Halo like modes. I'm not saying turn Destiny into Halo but some wacky modes like Grifball or something would be great. Imagine Metroid Blast Ball in Destiny? Or a map maker? It would be great. Oh well, maybe Destiny 2!
I'd buy another XB1 for a new Banjo!
I don't get how PS2 is relevant? They aren't on PS Now yet and no indication has been given as to when they will be. PS3, yes you can play some PS3 games via Now on it so its worth it for those alone.
If PS Now had PS1/PS2titles already it would be a crime to not buy a $40 PS TV, let alone for all the other reasons to do so like Vita games, PSP, PS4 streaming, etc.
It might get to that point lol. If they had a PS4+PS TV+3 months PS Now Sub for say $399 that would be good.
I can't imagine they'll make this much longer. Maybe the bundle SKU does well enough to maintain a normal price but the stand alone seems to be a disease to retailers with how hard they're trying to get rid of them. Guess we know which SKU sells better.
The cheaper the better for gamers. I already have a Vita but for $30 I'm buying one!
I'd love to see more AAA games get closer to $50M or less. Maybe we'd see the return of the AA Mid-tier game!
There is a link in "come to light" embedded.
I agree. Not saying a big marketing campaign isn't necessary from time to time but I would have loved to see it be closer to $20million but then would it still have sold four million? Dunno.
I think Sony has marketed their 2015 games enough. Until Dawn, Rapture, Tearaway and others are very good alongside Uncharted. I really think Sony will cut the PS4's price, to $299 or $349, either for MGSV on 9/1 or for Paris Games Week on 10/28. That's around Halo 5's release. Imagine Sony announces a PS4 price cut October 9th, the day Uncharted Collection comes out? It will take away thunder from Halo 5. With COD/Battlefront marketing, I don't think Oct/Nov/Dec will be easy ...
