Get rid of the basic and drop the deluxe down to 300 right before next holiday season.  Give the early Wii U adapters ambassador games.

I would love to get more free games but doing that will only show that Nintendo made another pricing error on their hardware. Maybe, the issue is that they released the basic version in white and people just prefer the sleek look of black instead. I was more interested in the deluxe version, not because of all the extras, I bought it because it was black. My original Wii was white and it looked out of place next to all my other black electronic devices. If its going to be part of your entertainment area, it should match the rest of your devices. The Gamecube had the same issue being released in the kiddy color Indigo. Nintendo could have waited and released a white version later on.
