Wii U

There will be a price cut by E3 in June at the latest.

With the complete lack of software announced over the next six months and new, more powerful consoles from Sony and Microsoft expected to be shown (before E3)....Nintendo will have to do something.

Announcing more 1st-party games is only going to hit with people who already own or plan to buy the system, it won't convert anyone.

Pretty ridiculous article.

Not even a month ago Iwata already confirmed the Wii U will have no price cut.

He's probably not talking about 2 years from now when newer models and bundles come out, like how it happened to the Wii. But still, don't be delusional to think there will be a price-cut anytime until 2015.

Discounts =/= price cuts. Nintendo doesn't tells or prevents stores from doing sales or discounts. Because they already get paid before the stores even set their prices...

Just like they said there wouldn't be a 3DS remodel at all, then unveiled a 3DS remodel a week later. Yea, you keep believing everything you hear. And like it was said before, if units don't sell, the company has to buy the product back from retailers, so them getting paid first means nothing.

Their handhelds always had a bunch of remodelling.

Only idiots thought the 3DS would be an exception to that rule.

Doing early price cuts on home consoles is NOT a common trend for them.
The GC sold bad and it didn't get any.

Stop thinking they will always do price cuts just because they did it once in over 25 years.

I think if the the price dropped 50 dollars the sales would dramatically increase, however I don't know how the the current price effects their bottom line.
