Nintendo faced a similar dilemma (although on a slightly smaller scale) after the 3DS was met with tepid sales when it first launched. Clearly the lack of third-party support and the continual decreasing sales have put pressure on Nintendo to change its mind, especially with the upcoming launches of the highly anticipated Xbox One and PlayStation 4. In the months since the console debuted, it has yet to turn a profit for Nintendo, but the company adamantly stated on more than one occasion that the Wii U would remain at its $349.99 price for the foreseeable future. The Verge notes that only about 3.45 million units have made it off of store shelves since the console launched late last year, according to Nintendo’s estimates.
Nintendo on Wednesday announced that the Deluxe edition of the Wii U will be getting a price drop of $50 to a new MSRP of $299.99 beginning September 20th.
