I remember in 2006 people were thinking Wii should be higher price because of how quickly it sold out and then people on eBay etc were price gouging customers. Nintendo is selling their machine at a loss just to provide a price point that they think will hold for a while. I think that is fair to all the early adopter consumers who will make it up to Nintendo by buying more game software while late adopters will come in on same initial cost but hopefully Nintendo applies economies of scale and reduces the cost of producing their product to point where it is no longer selling at loss.
Really the only problem I see for Wii U is not knowing whats in the pipeline beyond this very well stacked launch software support.
