Topic: Will the Wii U be Nintendo's Last console?? Will they go handheld only??

which makes a price cut all the more necessary... if nintendo can undercut the 720/durango by a significant margin then they have a chance... but they need to create an easy, cheap and established method of porting from those systems among other things...

I be very very surprised that the Wii U at the Deluxe Price of $350 isn't the cheapest console of the three.  Sony's already went on the record saying that they will make a profit on each piece of hardware sold Day One.  Now we know that the Wii U actually initially took a loss.  Putting 2 and 2 together and Sony would need to price accordingly to make that claim true.

I'm not sure if Microsoft wants that Trojan horse bad enough to make their system $300-350.

At the current time Nintendo needs to make their system the place for Quirky exclusives.  Things that on their own aren't system sellers but together makes it something you'll want.  Putting them back to a Nintendo System and pick your multiplat box.  Though to enact that strategy they are going to have to address storage and download speeds from the store.

Wii U had more good games on day 1 than 3DS did for it's first half a year.

Both in terms of first party titles and overall library. The 3DS was truly awful from launch until November.

Outside the extremely unlikely event that one or both of the new consoles launching later this year is an immediate hit, Nintendo isn't in the dire shape some would have you believe. Things aren't good right now, but they still have plenty of opportunity to address that, beginning with the Nintendo Direct tomorrow and then E3.
