UPDATED WITH POLL

I know before Iwata said exchange rates were the reason why the Wii U hasn't gotten a price cut yet,but do you think it will get one anytime this year? Or is it just about profits? Personally I dont see one until September when Mario Maker launches.I would hope it would be to 199.99$ but maybe 249.99$ is more likely. What are your thoughts?

I would hope so or else this is gonna be one essh year for the wiiU. No Zelda to really push the sales to zomg levels and if there isn't a price cut, I don't think it will do too well throughout the holidays even if there are some really awesome games unless they have something epic in store at e3

Not like a permanent "This is how much it costs from now on"
More like different bundles at different prices.



I'd be baffled if there is no price cut this year. MS could make the XONE $300 this holiday, and it would be hilarous if Nintendo thinks the Wii U is as valuable as the XONE.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

The proper word is demanded. Value is subjective.  For example, I would buy a $300 Wii U over a $200 XboxOne, for me, Wii U is more valuable than XBO. 

@OP Certainly. 



I think the Wii U needs one.



I think they will drop it by $50 near the end of the year. Like the last quarter.
