They needed the $300 or there would have been a whole lot of commentary over the $100 difference between wii and wiiU. It seems wasted, but it was needed. It killed any talk of wii u being too expensive. I don't think Nintendo is overly concerned about total sales volume for Wii U this year. They are going to sell about 5 million systems give or take no matter what they do. They have to work out bugs and settle into the manufacturing process. They will sell every system they make. It's next year where decisions will start to matter.
