1. The initial price tag is a tad too high. $300 is great by new-console standards — remember the PlayStation 3 at six big ones? — but general consumers don’t see “Wii” and think “high-end electronics.”

Agree with this one, and this might be the reason it could fail. Remember how 3DS was doing at 250? We might see panic pricecut next year if sales don't pick up.

Nintendo is already selling the Wii U at loss (don't know how much though). I only see that happening in a worst case scenario.

It wont happen and and it wont need to happen.  Ninty have a year to themselves in the next gen.

I agree, don't think Nintendo will do that (only if something unexpected happens) and by the time the other consoles launches the price cut will be a normal one.
