Are you guys kidding? Cut $100 off of Wii U after two months? With its killer software not yet released? With its principal rivals not yet released? It's really hard to take you seriously with such statements.

It already has 2D Mario so....
Anyway if anything, when its "rivals" get to market, sales could go lower.

Because 2D Mario is the only thing that is going to sell the Wii U...

Anyway people are crazy when saying a $100 price cut, that's insane. Nintendo is not going to cut the price until minimum 6 months on the market and a max of $70

Nothing has much more casual appeal. 2D Mario has both the core and casual gamer. If that game can't sell Wii U, nothing can.

(Zelda is too far off, Smash Bros not coming anytime soon)

For casuals it has to be something like Wii Sports 2, NSMBU only satisfies a fraction of the Nintendo core fans (myself included), a lot of gamers are waiting for other Nintendo games (Pikmin 3, a new Zelda, Metroid, Smash, etc). The sales are really bad, but it's too early to call it doom or that it needs a price cut so early. 

I can see Nintendo making some announcement of games they were planning to reveal at E3, that might help increase the sales a little bit, at least enough to keep the sales steady until an official price cut.
