a $249 Wii U doesn't stand a ghost of a chance against a $299 XO let alone if both PS4 and XO drop to $299

Best chance is for Wii U to drop earlier than both, and then drop again in holidays. Just the effect of dropping. even by $25 could cause a boost, but that really depends on marketing more than anything else.

 

Honestly, they need to fix there Terrible marketting, this is why the pricecuts have barely done anything/unstainable, and the wii U's poor baseline as it is. The source of many of the Wii U's faults

How is a $249 Wii U vs a $299 XO any different than a $299 Wii U vs a $349 XO?

The price cut has a stronger effect on the XO then the Wii U. So even if they drop by the same amount, doesn't mean the increase in sales will be the same aka the effect of the price drop. The Wii U must drop more to compensate, assuming all else is equal. They would have to drop even more if they don't market well.
