UK retailers Asda and ShopTo mark Wii U down below £200

4.7
UK retailers ShopTo and Asda are now selling the Wii U Basic Pack below £200 prices, making the purchase more than 20 percent off the launch price after just three months.

Wal-Mart owned supermarket chain Asda has taken £50 off the launch prices of both the 8GB basic and the 32GB Premium Packs on its online store. This makes the prices £199 (Around $300) and £249 ($375) respectively. ShopTo has went a little further and is selling the Basic Pack at £189.95. The 8GB packs do not come with additional games, however, the 32GB Premium Pack does include Nintendo Land.

Asda and ShopTo are the only two who are not selling at the launch price, or at least very close to it. Earlier this year, Nintendo cut the Wii U's life-to-date projections for the end of March 2013 by 1.5 million, which is down to 4M units.

Nintendo will be hoping that March treats them a lot better when a number Wii U releases such as Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Lego City Undercover, The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted come to the public.

170 It's not good at all ..... I would mark it down to $60.00 US dollars


If that, nintendo is going down hill...


How about we change 'going down hill' to "falling of a steep cliff with jagged rocks and lava at the bottom". It's just a matter of time and gravity.


Its unfortunate this is happening.

I feel that Nintendo should have waited to release a new console, the best time would have been now to announce it and release it fall of this year. If they would of done that, they would have a little more time to work on the console and also in turn, sell more.

Now since they were the first one's to release, they are suffering the worst. The Wii U would have done a little better with a better launch line but no, that launch line-up games were shitty and they won't really be selling anymore units until around a new Zelda game or maybe that new Monster Hunter game.

I really find it said that Nintendo fell this bad in the console market as they were my childhood of console gaming. :(
