[QUOTE="Foxi4, post: 4696460, member: 203855"] The PS2 was [I]"underpowered"[/I] in comparison to the XBox and the Gamecube, however not to the point of being [I]unable[/I] to launch multiplatform games, and that will be the case with the WiiU sooner or later. The Wii was underpowered but it had a charming Motion Controls mechanic at the height of Motion Control's popularity, a fantastic advertising campaign, a clear and defined target audience and a very approachable price point in comparison to the much [I]"stronger"[/I] competitors - none of those are present in WiiU's case. If the WiiU is to shoot into the same niche as the Wii, it has to become dirt-cheap - plain and simple. It has to become this cool and affordable gift for holidays of all-sorts, just like the Wii. No other maneuver will secure its position at this point when by spending $40-100 more [I](depending on which bundle we're talking about, but let's face it - nobody wants the Basic Wii U model)[/I] you can get yourself a PS4. I've been saying this for a while now but I'll say it again - scrap the useless Basic bundle, release branded Nintendo enclosures/external HDD's [I](because frankly, customers are idiots and telling them that "they can connect an external drive to the system" isn't always enough - capitalize on this by making your own accessories)[/I], slash the price and you'll secure yourself a place on the market, even if at a loss. This will spur developer interest and the games will start flowing naturally. Sometimes it's good to take one for the team early on to reap profits later, and this is the time to take one for the team. [/QUOTE]
