If it's a marathon runner then it has water (=games) for approximately 500 meters.
Seriously with almost no games scheduled beyond spring and such a low launch price, it's obvious that Nintendo had a super short term strategy. They pushed a few core games they bought out from publishers to give an illusion of 3rd party support, which was supposed to attract non-nintendo gamers en masse, which would then boost hardware sales and convince 3rd parties to more commitment and then have even more PS360 owners excited about the system.
This virtuous cycle didn’t work, and they don’t even have room for a price cut given the borderline profitability.
