Not until 2014 at the absolute earliest. Nintendo priced the Wii U to avoid having to drop its price like it did with 3DS. They didn't drop the price of Wii for, what, three and a half years? Wii U won't get a price cut in 2013. It's priced well. It's selling well.

We have six weeks of data on this brand new console. That's it. It's far too early for such doom and gloom.

You sony/ms fans dont really know what you are asking for!..

A price cut on the wiiU will totally kill its competitors sale of PS4/720 .. dont you people understand that? lol..

Be very careful of what you wish for!

I never expected the domination to start yet so I would say pretty good

not sure they need a price cut,the competition aren't even out,maybe rejig a package to just one if that's what they want which it sounds like they do by saying the premium is a sell out,i wonder when MS/Sony might price cut too,it could be shoot out until everyone is ready to roll and they all hold their nerve for the dosh

i've read it a few times now but do people really belive the core xbox/PS3 COD/online subscribers type
will jump to the WiiU because of a WiiU priecut,honestly?

Nintendo need to advertise more and show off more uses/games for their gamepad before the opposition start revealing their buzz

This is the second pricing mistake Nintendo does in a row. They should could the price in November to $250/$300, the price it has should being since the beginning.

PS3 wasn't out in Europe until March 07 though

We might see a slash, then discontinue of the Basic model some time this year, but I don't see the Deluxe model getting a price cut until close to the holiday season this year.

@ Everyone claiming that NSMBU should be selling Wii U

Why? Most people don't buy systems for 1 game, NSMB, NSMBW, and NSMB2 were huge sellers that sold each respective system quite well. The difference is that NSMBU launched with the system. A lot of people won't buy a Wii U just for that game alone. DS, Wii, and to some extent 3DS already has good libraries before hand. The Mario games were that final push.

Plus, as others have said, NSMB isn't really "New" anymore so while the game will still likely have loads of longevity and be one of Wii U's best sellers in the end, it simply doesn't have as much hype this time around.

probably getting a price cut by the time the new xbox and ps will be released...but I doubt they will cut the price anytime soon...its selling fine whats the matter?

2D Mario yes. MH not so much on the console front, out of 8 console MH games only 1 (Monster Hunter Tri for the Wii) have sold more than 1m in Japan.
