Also this, so much this.

Wii U was overpriced from the off and the fact they never cut it down and it stayed at a ridiculous $300 USD right up to (and beyond) its replacement was just obscene.

Wii on the other hand got appropriate price cuts to $200 in 2009, and $150 in 2011.

I'd imagine Wii U price was closer to the cost of materials than Wii was to it's cost of materials, making them not want to cut it. Not to mention, if they can make more profit or less of a loss with selling less, but more expensive devices, then that makes sense.

True, but still Nintendo's fault for going with pointless proprietary tech.
