They didn't happily cost the 3ds price and the 3ds was sold at a big profit margin at $250. They went from big profit at $250 to small loss at $170. The Wii U was already sold at a loss at launch, they couldn't make such a drastic cut early on without hemorraging money.

 

Wii U is outdated tech. Even the $199.99 Nvidia Shield console is more powerful with more RAM to boot. 

They don't want to  cut the price because as you said it's not worth it ... the system is a failure and will be a failure no matter what they do. So they're just letting it die. 

It may get a Pikmin 4 (something quickly slapped together using the Pikmin 3 assets) and some more outsourced projects (a Mario Sunshine HD might be nice) but that's about it. 

This nvidia shield doesn't seem more powerful than Wii U at all.

The problem here is you say nintendo doesn't cut the price because they have given up on Wii U, but I bet you would find a way to say the same thing if they had already made a price cut.
