Give me ONE SHRED of evidence of that, I have been hearing "Will have a price drop within months" since it's release. Nothing yet...
Let me tell you how the world works... if something isnt selling... its costing you money... warehouse space costs money... guards to guard that warehouse space costs money. Electricity and other utilities to the warehouse cost money. Wii U's sitting in the warehouse is costing money. Thats just a small trickle in the scheme of things.
The wii U isnt selling... I dont see you denying that... the sales numbers are beyond abysmal.
The PS4 and Xbox1 are going to be out this holiday season... expect millions of consoles for both being moved throughout the holidays. Now the preorders are such that you are going to have trouble getting those consoles on launch... but thats going to continue on through christmas and maybe into next year. Next there are going to be continued ps3 and xbox 360 sales throughout the holiday season.
So here is what is going to happen if there is no price drop. Combined Ps4/Ps3 sales in the Q3/Q4 are going to be something like 5-7 mil. Combined xbox360/one sales are going to be about the same. Then you throw out the Wii U numbers and its probably going to be like 250,000-500,000 and its probably going to be outsold by the original wii those quarters (like it is being outsold by the original wii right now)
They will have completely squandered the lead from releasing sooner as those new consoles will instantly be ahead on sales upon launch. Tons of Wii Us will start piling up in warehouses as unsold inventory stacks up. (Retailers will clearance the wii u on their own and stop stocking it btw if that were to happen, regardless of what nintendo itself thinks) Nintendo will have completely lost this console generation (thats already a given btw but it will be official now)
Oh and what happens next is their stock plummets and their CEO probably gets fired as shareholders revolt.
I think they would be insane not to drop it $100 from black friday onward. Absolutely insane not to do it.
