I guess now they are losing even more...

Basic 244.47 http://www.costco.com/Nintendo-Wii-U-8GB-Basic-Set.product.100021629.html
Deluxe 299.99 http://www.costco.com/Nintendo-Wii-U-32-GB-Deluxe-Set.product.100021626.html

That's the retialer, not Nintendo.

Wouldn't it still affect Nintendo in a way? The MSRP isn't anywhere near being reached.

In this instance, no. The retialer paid a price per console. Nintendo has that money... its the same to them eitherway.

This is costco either doing their own promotion or simply clearing stock.
