I doubt that the Wii U will need a price cut to sell. It already sells at a loss as it is. I think the demand may be low for a couple of reasons, and one of them may in fact be the fact that holiday season is coming up. As it goes along, I believe more people will want one and more appealing games would be out for the system.

If anything, that should be helping the sales and demand of the Wii U.  Children would be going nuts over it (not saying kids were the only ones into it, Nintendo fans ) and wanting it for Xmas, like they did the Wii that was launched the same time of the year, and their parents would try their damndest to get their hands on one.

I heard most of the shopping happens on Christmas Eve (or at least around that week before Christmas).  Also, the stock for the Wii U hasn't replenished yet (I don't think).  So I think we need to wait a little longer.

Actually, Black Friday week is one of the largest shopping weeks of the year.  And if December is anything like it was last year, sales will either be flat or slightly down from November.  As for the stock, that actually reinforces my point.  If there was high demand and very low stock, then the prices on eBay would be averaging $150-$200 above the normal retail price and people would still be purchasing them.
