On the garbage Basic model. Premium was always going to sell when it hit closer to the £200 mark.
It's a chart of the Wii U's price over time.
Pretty much.

the "price cut" happend somewhere around march. I see no real connection (or reason) for this sudden jump
So it is for the X1 effect? oh wow.

A few weeks back, an MP3 was #1 in one of these same charts (albeit for another department on Amazon) for quite a while, that MP3 entered the official weekly chart that following sunday at #43.
It is now at #3

No, it's now #50. You're not looking at the sales chart.
Ok this is fucking fantastic and I'm very critical of Nintendo and Iwata.
yeah you're right

I'm honestly teary-eyed.
You do have a point. The graph doesn't really add anything and hasn't it already been shown that price cuts don't boost sells.
Why did they add +price cut bump? Where is the evidence that shows that the prices cuts have stopped failing to do anything? Why are so many people trying to push this off on the price cut? Why was that edited into the thread title?
I wanna see some data that specifically point to this price cut causing a sales jump despite the fact that the dozens of others did not.
I love Pachter in the background.

Because some have insisted that it MUST be due to the price cut.

It's still selling as much as the 32gb Vita memory card and worse than the Wii, slow down on patting yourself on the back.

All Nintendo has to do now is to show off Retro title, Mario and Zelda and go home.
The should also say this line:
"When you have a lot of people over, your TV will be switching between games and and TV spasticly with speech recognition, that's why we preferred to have include a built-in TV remote in the WiiGamepad. Also netflix and other TV and sports channels are available for no premium charge"

The point is it's significantly more appealing post the Xbox One reveal than it was before.
This gif is perfect for the situation.
That's pretty amazing. Hopefully these customers stick with the system. (Update should be done by E3)

One Life to Live, cancelled ABC soap. The gif is even funnier to me because I remember watching that scene with my mom, lol.

This gif will be handy during Nintendo's E3!
Gotta start somewhere.
Wait...you mean the Wii is more appealing than the Playstation 2? Nintendo really is back on the rise.
The 3DS is single dominating all that Sony has to offer. A lot of individual are just limiting this to Microsoft, but people should start to fear for the future of the PS4, because I have this strange feeling that its not going to top the other 2 consoles post launch.
