$400 PS4 'puts no pressure on Wii U at all', says Nintendo exec
The PS4 is expected to pose a particular threat to Wii U with its $400/£349 price point - just $50/£50 more than the 'Deluxe/Premium' version of Nintendo's significantly lower-spec machine. But Fils-Aime brushes off the challenge.
"It puts no pressure on us at all," Fils-Aime insisted during a chat with Kotaku. "Sony and Microsoft are going to do what they're going to do. My bet is that there are going to be more announcements the closer we get to whatever their launch date is."
He went on, "From my perspective, I can't focus on that. I have to focus on: How do we satisfy the needs of all of the consumers out there with Nintendo products? How do we make sure they understand our proposition? How do we make sure they're excited about the software that we offer? And from that standpoint we're going to let our competition do what they're going to do."
Wii U has struggled at retail in its early life largely due to a lack of compelling software releases, which is something Nintendo aims to rectify in the run up to Christmas.
"You know, I think by the end of this holiday, after we've launched Wind Waker, after we've launched Donkey Kong Country, after we've launched Mario 3D World, I think we're going to be in a very good position," said Fils-Aime.

I think people who get a wii U arent even in the same market as ps4 and xbox users to be honest. I used to have a wii and after a few months I had to get something else. I would like a wii or wii u but I would need something else besides those.

ShadowBoltDashieSpanishgeneralhunter why do people compare the Wii U to PS4/Xbox1? you're better off comparing it to a iPad or PS Vita
Heres a better comparison. A Xbox One to a Cable Box... How about that??
Well my cable box doesn't require internet service to run properly, so I think the cable box wins this one.
HAHA!! i agree

I hope they end up being on top again.
With what they told us today and changed their policy, they are sure to be on top again.
No doubt, Super Smash Bros is going be such a hit. Now if they make the Starfox 64 remake that people have been asking for, they will be on top in no time.
Yeah the games for nintendo are honestly the most fun, unless all you like to play is CoD.

LuckyOtterWagering Of course Nintendo doesn't care, they're the gaming veterans.
You know who else at one time was "gaming veterans"? Sega. They better start caring if they don't want to end up like them. I don't know a single person who has a wii u. Just because some is a big name doesn't mean they can't fail.
Remember Atari?

I have said the same thing before. If Nintendo isn't careful they could end up like Sega when it comes to consoles.
