The big question mark when talking price cuts is the Wii U. If a system could ever use a price cut to get inventory moving it is the Wii U. Nintendo is still talking tough at this point, saying that it has no plans to slash the price of the system, but the numbers don’t lie; it is expected that Nintendo will have no choice but to cut the price of the Wii U by $50.
Still, even if Nintendo does reduce the price of the Wii U by $50, it is still a hard sell these days with the lack of software for the unit. While the company has a number of titles coming, these titles could not get here fast enough; it is not a slam dunk, as these titles may only provide a slight spark to sales of the unit while many weigh their options of purchasing the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 instead this holiday season.
