Nintendo Gaming / Should/will Nintendo follow PS4 price cut
« on: October 08, 2015, 04:12:10 PM »
Sony just lowered the price of the PS4 to $350. https://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/151008_e.html
So that puts it only $50 more than the Wii U's $300 price tag. This price covers bundles too. I look at Best Buy's site and the Uncharted bundle is at $350 so both Sony and Nintendo are offering pack-in games.
So does Nintendo cut the Wii U price now? Of course we don't know if they actually can without taking a loss. I also figure that "will they" and "should they" are different questions.
I want them to and I haven't shut up about that over the last several months. They cut the price and I'll buy it. Now that Sony has cut the price, and seemingly out of nowhere as I don't feel they needed to, I don't see how Nintendo can get away with not doing so. It just seems like misplaced arrogance to keep the price up now, unless they really are facing serious losses if they do so.
