Just look at how Nintendo reported Wii U exceeded Wii on sales proceeds, the yen represents a 10% markup as we speak so Nintendo has room for a cut if so desired or can ride home on fewer units shipped but less depressing figures when it comes to sales. Discount or not, Wii U enjoys a solid year headstart. 3DS had the four horsemen kinda sputtering before Nintendo pulled the trigger no? (Need confirmation from ppl with better recollection).
Nintendo ought to try at least one more round of real game announcements and releases before a price cut that if called for is better served post HDTwin price announcements. If HD Twins come out at 599-699, then Nintendo will look like a bargain without a price cut.
