Tails 6,692 Posted January 31, 2013 In a presentation to industry analysts and reporters, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata said a price-cut for the company’s latest video game home console, the Wii U, is not an option. According to Iwata, Nintendo is already selling the Wii U at below cost, and instead of slashing the its price, Nintendo will introduce more games that are unique to the new console and ones that completely take advantage of the hardware’s capabilities. Thanks to Mynintendonews for the tip. 1 advfox reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weiss 8,279 Posted January 31, 2013 huh. Well sucks there's no price cut but it's already not too big of a price imo. Adding games unique to it should be interesting to see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indecypher 495 Posted January 31, 2013 Didn't even know there was a demand for that. I'd hoped to get it eventually anyways, so more exclusives should make it worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caity 3,946 Posted January 31, 2013 I thought it'd be a couple of months near a year+ before a significant price cut is shown. 2 HarLea Quinn and Jilly Shears reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was under the impression it'd be twice of what it is, if it wasn't for the fact I already have 4 consoles that only have 3-5 games to each I would actually get it for myself, just would rather spend the money on getting more games for the other consoles I already have right now ,_, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jilly Shears 2,144 Posted January 31, 2013 Why would they give a price cut for a system not even 3 months old yet? :l Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DragonMaster 1,166 Posted February 1, 2013 What the heck would it need a price cut for? The prices seem more than fair for what you get in the two model choices. I think I've read that it is actually doing pretty well at its current price point (albeit not as well as Nintendo thought/hoped) as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henne 150 Posted February 1, 2013 If it's to expensive just wait. It won't run away. And if you fear not to get a certain game later on, than you can buy that and wait - or keep an eye on it. There are only three games that I am interest in so far:New SSB Fire Emblem X Shin Megami Tensei and... uh, what was the third one again? Damn, I really forgot it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingdomHearts3 2,591 Posted February 2, 2013 That stinks. Maybe in time they'll cut the price. I don't think there's a need to slash the price when it has been out for three months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess, I don't remember the trailer or I never have seen it at all Too bad, that the second BK never was released over here. It looked like they managaed to fix some annoying things.
