IDC Believes Wii U Will Get $50 Price Cut Later This Year, But Won’t Make Dent On Competition

International Data Corporation has given Gamesindustry.biz a sample of its soon to be published latest console forecast report. The IDC believe that the Wii U will get a price cut of $50 in late 2014 or early 2015. However it doesn’t think it will make a serious dent in the installed base gap between Wii U and the competition. The IDC expects the PlayStation 4 to lead all consoles with 51 million sold by 2016, but they think Microsoft will make a serious comeback, particularly in North America, where it’s forecasted to take the lead if they unbundle the Kinect peripheral

“Meanwhile, Nintendo’s Wii U is expected to finally receive “the equivalent of a $50 price cut worldwide in late 2014 or early 2015,” but it won’t make a serious dent in the installed base gap between Wii U and the competition.”

    1. yup…and marketing and adding WiiU features and listening to fans at least sometimes etc
      (seriously…… the list can go on about improvements)

  1. Nintendo HAS the opportunity to turn it around.
    show again 4-5 games for next year,.
    continue the mk8 hype.
    hype e3 the most.
    Zelda for nov.
    games a amonth

          1. They are actually lucky that The Amazing Spider Dude 2 did so well… if it flopped that would have been a serious strike on their bank.

            1. Between movie offerings like Amazing Spiderman 2, and their musical offerings, such as the new Michael Jackson CD (RIP), Playstation can rest on it’s laurels. But Sony has to continue developing new methods of quick cash flow. Even still, they make good offerings; The same MJ CD is actually quite nice, I’m wearing Sony Headphones right now, and I have a Playstation 2, with a desire to get a Playstation 3, for it’s games, at some point or another.

      1. Mario moves consoles unlike any other single franchise in video games. Obviously variety and originality would be great, but sales figures are sales figures.

      2. It will make more people buy the console and then its hoped that will attract more games due to the bigger user base and so on and so on.

      3. They don’t.
        Anyone with sense knows that it takes a consistent run of great games to keep a console selling high, not counting hype via advertisement.
        Thankfully, the system will be getting that great line-up for the rest of the year and beyond.

      4. Same why Microsoft is desperately depending on Halo to save them… oh no wait… Nintendo doesn’t really rely on their games like Mario to sell because they’ll turn around anyway but Xbone will be dead seeing how Halo is the only game people want the Xbone for and that’s a small number

        1. And knowing that the Halo fanbase is slowly dwindling plus Xbox One being met with a more negative reception thanks to its own dumbass PRs promoting DRM that pissed and scared the fuck out of everyone away towards Wii U/PS4 except the 4 million retards who bought the damn DRV box, I’m not sure Halo 5 is enough to save the already fucked Xbox One platform especially if the game ends up not running at 60FPS or 1080p for that matter. Then the fans will really have something to be pissed off about.

        1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

          The gay fashion police would so torture him and cast him away to oblivion for wearing such a horrible outfit…

      5. Same for Microsoft depending on Halo 5 to bail DRM/DVR Xbox One’s 3rd place ass with a miracle. Not gonna happen likely if the game runs below at 720p or not at 60FPS or if the Xbox One is still bundled with that POS spy camera at the same $500 price point you dunce.

    1. Unfortunately they are only making a digital presence at E3. Which isn’t a big deal in actuality, but it sends the message that Nintendo aren’t serious about gaming and that they don’t have much of a plan. Again, it doesn’t actually mean that, but it sends that kind of message. The biggest name in games SHOULD attend the biggest event in games.

      1. what lol
        nintendo is attending E3 this year and providing hourly coverage via Treehouse
        they’re just sticking to a digital “press conference” like last year, just improved
        where have u been

      2. They are actually leading the way to how e3 will be in the future….its sad but true. They will still have there own large section just no stage…instead they will be talking directly to the viewer and have best buy events for peopleto play the new smash bros I think they know what there doing and im pretty sure they have this e3 in a bag. New zelda confirmed to be showed off and new reveals. Idk about you but im counting down the days to there direct E3 presentation. Oh and they do care there the only ones doing anything different with this platform…moving foward.

      3. off course, most to none of my friends even knew if nintendo had an e3 press conference, when i showed them sm3dw trailer they were like ” nintendo has run out of ideas”.

        1. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

          That’s because you don’t have any friends. No, life-size solidified shit statues don’t count.

          1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

            I think Sasowhateverhisnameis has made himself more “friends” than Iceazeama ever did…

        2. You mean that one friend that has left school because it pre-school teacher was telling him off too much?

          So, yeah, your “Friends” must be stupid and the reason for the downfall of the gaming industry seeing how its more likely that they play Halo, Call of Duty and Battlefield which are pretty much the same thing. Hell, the new call of duty is basically Elysium the game.. now THAT’S what I call “Running out of ideas”

          Super Mario 3D World on the other hand is the complete opposite, more open environments, having to save fairies instead of the princess for a change, being able to play with up to 4 people with the added bonus of the Gamepad user being used to find hidden items, new abilities that ENHANCE the gameplay and so on.

          Nintendo doesn’t rehash like your companies do, they innovate and I’d like to say hi to all the people on Youtube that also hate your video but you record this anyway… by using a handheld camera and NOT an on screen capture… You must be broke if that’s the case XD

  2. If Mario Kart 8 affects sells only for a short amount of time then this could probably end up being true.

  3. Yawn whatever, console wars are so 90s ,just buy and play the games you want on what systems you want, JUST HAVE FUN.

  4. Why do people keep saying it needs another price drop? Complete morons. Need to stop being cheap and buy the thing for the price it is. You’re going to buy more games for it, so the price is gonna rise anyway! Idiots…

    1. Yes because if you buy it at the price that its at right now the cost of games is $0 -_-

      Do you even listens to the dribble you post before you post the comment, fucking idiot.

      1. You need to open your blind eyes and re-read what I just said. “You’re going to buy more games for it”. If you’re buying a Wii U, YOU OBVIOUSLY WANT TO BUY SOME FREAKING GAMES FOR IT TOO, RIGHT? $0? Nothing is free in this world. Even tax is added onto the price. Learn how to read clearly before arguing with me. :P

        1. .”You’re going to buy more games for it, so the price is gonna rise anyway! Idiots…”

          Do you not know how to speak? That is a direct quote, you call people idiots for wanting a $50 price cut on a console that they don’t feel is priced right. If the console drops price then it drops price, hence its cheaper.

          Well not shit you are going to buy more games but without the price drop you are out $50. Would you rather buy a Wii U and a game for $360 plus tax (300 wiiu plus 60 dollar game), or a Wii u and a game for $310 plus tax? (250 wiiu with a 60 dollar game)

          1. If you buy so much as ONE brand new Wii U game, $60 is added to the price. If you had $60 extra dollars, why complain? People ain’t complaining about PS4’s price. It costs almost twice as much as Wii U yet it’s selling like hotcakes. A price drop is obviously not needed. It’s the games. And the games are coming. If you care about $50 savings that much, you shouldn’t be buying video games in the first place.

            1. Exactly. PS4 has no games, 400 bucks. Xbox One has some games, but none really worth buying, 500 bucks plus that stupid kinect.

              Wii U, 300 bucks with the most games. Gee, this is a hard decision.

            2. Haha. He’s probably one of those poor people living in a shelter getting his income from welfare checks. You’re right. If he can’t cough up a measly 300 bucks, he shouldn’t be buying video games in the 1st place.

              1. I already own a Wii U you moron -_- jeez you wiitard are so fucking stupid, did you not bother to read the comment I was replying to?

            3. Money is not an issue i have disposable income and I already own a Wii U. I don’t plan on getting a PS4/X0 anytime soon but you have to be a moron if you think $50 is nothing, you don’t stay wealthy by throwing money away. It OK, you probably still live with mommy and daddy but one day you’ll understand.

              Back on topic:

              Its still cheaper. How do you not understand that? Regardles of how many games you buy a $50 price cut would make it cheaper.

          2. So you would rather have a PS4 for 400 bucks with no games? Sure, go ahead. Or what about the Xbone and Kinect for 500 bucks with some games, but not any worth mentioning? Go ahead cheapass.

              1. Don’t forget PSN now mimicking with its own onlinw charges at $50. But the good thing is its cheaper than Live and you get free shit so PS4’s paid online isn’t that bad.

        1. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

          The only thing that’s reality is how invalid your points all you are, and you don’t bother defend them, deal with it. Oh, and you’ve been exposed, as usual.

        2. Not really, reality would be were social rejects like you are taken off well fare and thrown out on the street… THAT’S reality Chris-Chan 2

        3. Your twisted ass reality you’re dreaming while walking the streets and getting hit every time.

          Wake the fuck up. Xbox One is flopping and new CEO is considering dumping that DRM shit because investors want it to. That’s reality fool.

  5. Nintendo Commanders Assistant

    Plz Our Creation the Wii U will eliminate the sonyans and xbots right Commander

  6. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

    I need to see it to believe it, because again, this is something to take into consideration. I’m 75% percent sure this is not going to happen.

  7. I don’t know how anyone could take Microsoft seriously especially if they unbundle Kinect with all the dribble they have said about it not being possible, that the Xbox One was built with Kinect.

    Just like they said they could not remove the DRM or change the Xbox One at first, then they went ahead and removed it. Why don’t their own fans get sick and tired of their constant lies?

    As great as it would be for them to remove Kinect, it once again just shows how crooked Microsoft is if they actually do. Showing they are once again nothing but thieving liars.

    1. Actually, they never removed the DRM to begin with. So they are already liars right there and the Kinect thing, they knew its a flop but Microsoft lacks fucking brain cells to ditch it thinking its still got some life left. Kinect is exactly what Zune was: A failure that was not only late to the party to compete but its technology sucks in comparison with its competition.

          1. It was a huge failure lol.

            And yeah… I remember how they said it would “destroy the Wii U”

            1. That’s Patcher talking in ass language just like you.

              Don’t play dumb thinking you recent top comments agreeing with Wii U losing is gonna be ignored when posting bottom ones saying the opposite.

              You know what that’s called? Damage Control.

            1. Says the hypocrite fool saying the opposite 20 minutes ago.

              STFU. You sound like Sasori when he’s acting like a dumbass hypocrite.

          1. Well it looks like the Xbox One is winning because it seems to be collecting dust on store shelves ;)

            1. You WIN with that comment. XD

              I usually see PS4 and Wii U disappearing from shelves while Xbox One and its Titanfall bundled ass sitting pretty with its bulky, ugly ass showing off its deformed Kinect as its dysfunctional dick.

          2. Forgot the casual 3rd place Xbox One with its 1080p-less I.E.D ass acting as a TV streaming box with an identity crisis.

      1. Wow..you are another Patcher talking out of his. 2015 ain’t here yet and already predicting another 2012 BS.

        Go back to your little cave brokeback and masturbate to you precious 3rd rate PC DVD player for a console who can’t remain operational for shit.

  9. They’re probably right. Such awesomeness is wasted on the Call of Duty/Sports games crowds. Now that’s your real casual gamer crowd.

  10. Wow! Remember that guy that made the predictions about how the Wii u was going to fail? I didn’t think he was right.. But yeah I guess that’s why its his job to be an analyst. Pachter I believe it was.. sounded like an asshole but damn, he’s actually good at his job. The Wii u really has failed. And I’m not here to hate, I bought the Wii u in day 1, and I’ve never had a console that wasn’t Nintendo, I had just hoped Wii u would be successful but it really hasn’t. And I’m not blinded by.. Whatever it is that makes fans so committed to one thing… So yeah just sharing the truth I guess.

    1. pachter was right from the begining of wiiu failure, nintendo should have listen to pachter advise.

      1. Yet Pachter also said the Xbox One would be a success…. look at how that’s turning out?… not good I’m sad to say

      2. Same thing about the 3DS failing against Vita..oh wait…IT DIDNT HAPPEN.

        Same for Wii and DS failing last gen..oh wait…THAT DIDNT HAPPEN EITHER.

        Like you, Patcher is another fucking loose lipped idiot talking ass language.

  11. I love how people think the Wii U failed when nintendo is yet to release one of their major blockbuster games not even one and still sold 7 million

      1. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

        You sure act like it and you admitted it was the cool thing quite a while ago, we’re not as stupid as you are. Exposed on spot again.

      2. Well to you, it seems like it is.
        Kid, you have so many haters now that even us trolls fucking hate your guts. Horrible trolling kid, get the fuck out of the pub now you inbreed fuck

  12. it’s a shame people feel like they have to hate nintendo in order to fit in buch of pathetic loners with no life play terrible games praise Microsoft and don’t even have their new system or the old system just nintendo systems

  13. nintendo has sold more pieces of software then Microsoft and Sonys consoles and software combined

  14. wiiu is not a wet match in a dark cave just yet. this is the year where its fate will be judged. e3 will be crucial for nintendo. hopefully clown iwata stops crying and actually does something.

  15. having a fun time of steam, am new to steam. castlevania lords of shadow 2 demo played very well with barley any pop ups, dota 2 is a fun free to play game and its cool to collect achievememts from the free to play games. too bad my wii u is collecting dust.

    1. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

      Lol I like how you act like you never said “PC is for social rejects”, and now your playing on said “platform for social rejects”. Double standards much? Why do you make it so easy for me to expose you?

        1. It wasn’t the first time. Until now, I thought you couldn’t recognize when you were wrong, because you’re most of the time wrong and you never see it or maybe you’re just an hypocrite

            1. Valve Admiral GLaDOS

              Actually, second thought, everything else you say is pretty bullshit since you can’t provide evidence either.

            2. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

              Sorry, sasori, but you’re not the center of the universe. Your opinions are not facts. See a shrink for your superiority AND inferiority complex. It’s very bad when you suffer from both.

        2. Don’t even think about playing that BS “confession” card. You’re already branded as a fucking major idiot and failure in human and primitive society.

          Go back to masturbating to Xbox ads because its the only closest thing you’ll come to having an ounce of cheap happiness left. What a joke you are brokeback mountain.

      1. This fake ugly ass Al Sharpton wannabe is a major double dipping standard motherfucker that makes Fox News BS yellow journalism routine more believable.

        Nobody takes this brokeback gorilla seriously not even his own gorilla mother that he screws around with in his basement.

    2. I find it funny how you’re saying:
      “Wii U sucks!! I’m going to get my mommy and daddy to buy me an Xbox One because I’m so angry!”

      Yet you own a PC… get the fuck out of my platform before I kick you out… You don’t belong with us PC Masters you filthy Xbox Pleb

      1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

        *Wii U sucks!! I’m going to get my mommy and daddy to buy me an Xbox 360 because I’m so angry!” Fixed. His parents won’t buy him the Xbox One. Too expensive.

    3. Again brokeback, you can’t afford shit not even a free Steam account and its highly discounted games.

  16. Take a look at this really cool gadget called GoKey. It attaches to your key ring and can charge a phone with a built in battery, can locate your phone or keys with an app or button on the device, and it has a built in flash drive. I just bought the 32gb version of it and it only cost $59. Here’s the link. http://igg.me/at/gokey/x/7410147

  17. Nintendo Commanders Assistant

    This Sasori guy is really a foul isn’t he just wait until my Commander comes he will wipe u out of existence

    1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

      I’m already working on it, just like I destroyed the CPU Soldier Bill…

  18. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

    Does Pachter work for these people? This sounds like something he’d “foresee” in his crystal ball.

  19. Wii U doesn’t need a price cut. You could make it $1, if you don’t advertise it, nobody will know its even out there. Xbox One without Kinect, Microsoft already said they have no intentions of doing a kinectless Xbox One, they REALLY want you to have that damn thing.

    1. Even if those dumbasses knew Kinect was a major flop but still insist pushing that turd into people’s throats actually proved they haven’t changed their fucking ways just like lying about getting rid of DRM that I damn know its still there according to people who bought that shit and run games from the start; its still installs the digital version and not playing from the disc.

      That’s DRM still lingering and thank god I’m not one of those 4 million fucking idiot tools ignoring Microsoft’s open BS. $550 for a DRV Box that lied about DRM and acts like an I.E.D trying to struggle with 1080p and fail…give me a fucking break.

  20. Iwata’s gonna have to do better than fifty bucks off to generate ANY excitement.

    That said, I do think he’ll try the $50 trick again and look around expecting everyone to applaud him.

    1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

      No, if he fails at E3, our Lord will be replaced for sure…

      So there is no more chances…

      1. E3 is his last chance for sure. The board and investors are watching his ass very closely like a hawk and one slip, they’ll swoop in and boot him out. Hopefully the successor will have the balls to provide more maturity for Nintendo platform but not be stupid enough to mimic every BS Microsoft and Sony does like DRM, paying for free online play, kissing 3rd parties ass too much with ripoff DLCs and Microtransactions plus not putting that disease Origin into the console.

        1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

          Even though Lord Iwata’s resignation is almost assured if he fails now, I think he deserves our outmost respect for his work on the Wii and 3DS as they have been our most succesful machines ever…

          Or well the 3DS has the potential to surpass the DS…

          I think the best thing he did except those things was to deny the Electrons of their abomination Origin…

          Just a little note:

          I think High Commander Sakurai could be a potential future Lord of our empire…

          And he’s cute too…

          -lol-

          1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

            I can say one thing. Sakurai as CEO would definitely be interesting. Just look at how much he teases people with Smash 4 in regards to Ridley. We won’t truly know what Ridley will be in the game til it actually releases on the 3DS & a number of people unlock every single character. With his past posts to Miiverse, I’m still wary of that Ridley shadow during the boss segment.

            1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

              Well Ridley was a boss in Brawl in 2 forms so there is no doubt that Ridley will probably be a stage boss much like the Yellow Devil is…

              1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

                I’m holding out for a playable Ridley. If he is indeed a boss again, I’ll accept that since I’ll still have Link, Mario, & Samus to use to beat up on people. lol

  21. which is exactly the reason why it won’t get a price cut.. sheesh.. don’t they think nintendo knows that aswell?
    price cuts don’t mean jack if the console isn’t attractive enough

  22. Why does the analyst claim a price drop is happening but won’t help the Wii U this year?

    First of all, I don’t see the Wii U pricing dropping this year and considering the software line up coming, I don’t think its required and even if the drop happens, I’m sure it’ll entice more people to buy it when MK8, Smash Bros. 4, Zelda Hyrule Warriors and such are available for the 2014 holiday season.

    So this “prediction” has Patcher’s name all over this and let me remind you people again: He’s nothing but a fucking idiot who can’t keep his big mouth shut without doing homework and keeping his fanboy dick in his pants. Remember his preditions about Wii/DS/3DS failing? ALL NEVER HAPPENED! Wii U can likely turn itself around if Nintendo can stop playing shy guy and advertise that fucking console.

    1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

      If the Wii U manages to turn around 180 like the 3DS, we should create a petition for the creature Pachter’s resignation ahahahahahahahh…

  23. that does not make sense!!! why Nintendo should cut the price to $50 if at the end it does not any effect. Also you can tell that IDC is an American bias company. Xbox one is too expensive and I can go on as to why it will be difficult for them to comeback.

    Also xbox one production as been stopped momentary cause the console does not sell very well.,Furthermore MS lied on the number units they sold. they send 5 millions units worldwide (19 countries) to retailers it’s does not means they sell 5 millions. The console is not even out in Asia……

    1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

      That’s Xbot companies, always lies and makes senseless arguments…

      I hope they never release that infectious disease in Asia…

      1. well they have enough units for the Asian market LOL. a quick research will tell you that MS have to slow down the production and they can in theory reduce their price to be @ the same level as PS4 but they are greedy bastard.

        1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

          Indeed, I read the report but as far as I know it, it’s not 100% certain yet that they will slow down production unless something new has developed in that area…

          I’m sure they have enough units but if they have the smallest sense left in those so called bubbly brains of theirs, they won’t release the Xbox Done in our homeworld or the Dragon Empire…

          1. don’t count on it they are desperate… not really they are so desperate they need to sell at least one unit in Asia…. I guess they are modified the spy thing for the Chinese market cause their government will test it before launch

            1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

              True, although the Chinese bans several popular Xbot games and FPS garbage over there so I’m not afraid of their desperation at all…

              I only long to see them fail epically…

              1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

                From what I’ve heard, they have strict rules on violent video games, so Nintendo should make a guaranteed “killing” there.

                1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

                  The only thing that stops it is the Dragon Empire’s and The Rising Sun Empire’s hostility to each other…

                  I hope the civilians have more sense to them than their leaders…

  24. “Just a little note:

    I think High Commander Sakurai could be a potential future Lord of our empire…

    And he’s cute too…” Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

    SPOKEN LIKE A PURE BREED FAGGOT

    God going to destroy all Faggots and homosexuals like he did in Sodom and Gommorah

    BE WARNED

  25. Since patcher and co are so good analyst here mine. The Wii U will hit the 90 millions units sold (not shipped) worldwide by the end of March 2015. Cause humanity will have a brain and release they have been ***ed by Sony and MS for so many years and 3rd part developer/publisher who sell them 1/3 of the game which is worth of 1h30 content and sell them 2/3 of the game which accumulate a total of $100 per game.

    Xbox one will reduce their price ($100) to be in line with PS4 around October after the launch of the xbox one in Asia (unfortunately they are so desperate that even one 1 unit sold in Asia is a good thing). Finally after a price drop in the console and price drop on the game but an increase of price for DLC, as well as make sure 3rd part don’t develop for xbox360. Furthermore MS will create a magic patch which remove the DRM but keep the spy thing on but will be more difficult to detect.Because MS will tell us the spy thing does not exist anymore( which is of course a lie) MS will managed to hit 5.0165 millions units sold worldwide.

    Sony will hit 11.32 million units after they released the SUPA DUPA remix HD version of Final Fantasy 7 (just make sure some we are all on the same page I pick the number which comes to my head without any data to back it up but hey I think they do the same thing).

    Nintendo will focus their online experience in 2015 and put the miiverse right, as well as unveil the successor of the 3DS which will have a benefit effect on the market share. QOL which will be launch after E3 2015 will have a shaky start but will bring 215 billion yen revenue for 2016.

    PS: the above is sarcasm and a lot of BS…

  26. The problem with the Wii U isn’t the price….it’s actually much much simpler than that; It’s the COOLNESS factor, however ridiculous that may sound – it’s the very truth.
