Economies of scale. They never sold out their initial stock. So, they never had enough made to bring the price of making WiiUs down. -- nm - Inigo Jan 13, 06:34 3
- If the Switch doesn't work out, Nintendo would be best served by getting out of the hardware business completely. - ML Jan 13, 06:37 2
  - Nintendo should go third party? Someone should alert them of this groundbreaking, brand new idea. ;) -- (edited) - Inigo Jan 13, 06:45
  - a bidding wart for a Mario game between PS4 and XBox1 could be epic. same for a Zelda -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 06:38
Wasn't the WiiU always $300? -- nm - MDH Jan 13, 06:30 1
- It was $300 for the base model. $350 for the larger storage and Nintendoland packed in. -- nm - Inigo Jan 13, 06:31
