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.

This price actually isn't bad, seeing nobody is really buying it.

DSR This is expected, the Wii U sales have really been struggling.


They have went up in the price drop but they shouldn't have to drop to sell
