Hope that's not true.
If so, history will repeat itself and Nintendo has learned nothing from SCE's initial mistakes with the PS3.
While there's a big difference between making a comfortable profit on each unit sold at launch (in the case of the Wii U) versus losing over $200 on every unit (PS3), in the eyes of the general consumer, $600 is too much for a dedicated game playing console. Even the PS3 had to leverage quite a few early sales on the merit of being one of the first BD players on the market and it was still too expensive for most consumers who were mainly or only interested in playing games.
Personally, I wouldn't pay a penny over $400 and I'm pretty sure most video game playing consumers are in the same category.
