I don't see how they'll be able to drop the price much in the next year considering that controller costs $150+ to replace. They didn't even toss a Wii Remote in the package which they've probably got tons of laying around, especially in the unsold Wii boxes. That tells me they need to sell Wii Remotes to cover what they're losing on the Wii U (I assume they're losing money, just about everyone does when they launch a console).
Is everyone that is excited about the system simply a fan of all the Nintendo franchises? Being a Sega kid and the Wii being the first Nintendo console I acquired at launch, I don't see what's so appealing about the Wii U. Sure the controller looks interesting but I thought the same about the motion controls before the Wii was released. Does Nintendo Land look like fun or crap to you guys? Looks terrible to me. Although I also predominantly play games solo and that's clearly aimed at multiplayer. Since I own a Wii, Xbox 360, and decent PC, the only two games they've mentioned that I would like to check out are ZombiU and LEGO City Undercover. One could argue they might have one of the best launch lineups but some of their best games will already have been released on other platforms. I'm surprised they don't know the launch titles yet. Reggie said it's too early; two months is too early? The launch titles would be the ones whose developers are currently working on the first patch
Yeah, I'm joking but they must have some idea what will be ready and some are probably already done with development. Also, that base 8GB space seems small for patches and DLC; one RPG can have DLC that fills that fast.
