Precisely, its basic maths. The Wii U is already selling at a loss, if Nintendo cut the price by a full 100$ they would likely sell at a loss far into 2014 (probably the whole year, the Gamepad is rather costly to produce even if the other hardware components drop drastically in price) and that would spell true disaster, by that time the 3DS won't be pulling in enough cash to cover the losses and since Nintendo live solely off of gaming, they can't afford to let cash trickle out of the company, as opposed to MS, for instance.
