Report: Wii U price drops not spurring UK sales
Trade publication MCV has quotes from two different retail buyers, the first noting the natural sales bump has "resulted in a smaller than desired increase" and the other saying the thing Nintendo really doesn't want to hear: "They've got to do something otherwise it is GameCube all over again."
For its part, Nintendo Europe says it is reaching out to retailers directly over the next few weeks to highlight the "strong and broad line-up of software launching this year." Console price reductions are more flexible in the UK than they are in the States.
Meanwhile, TechRadar mentions Wii Mini sales aren't doing much better in the UK. The site reports demand for the unit has been exceptionally poor. The Wii Mini sold 37.5K units in Canadian market, which Nintendo was pleased about.

M60 They shouldn't have to reduce the price to increase sales if the device was good enough it would sell enough
Yeah, but this system/console/device blows. As we all know it, they had to do this to get a little money, and they got just a little out of it. It isn't good enough to sell much in the frst place.
