When will Nintendo wake up to the Wii U issues?

Curl-6, that's possible, but look at the 3DS. It had a huge price drop and Nintendo came out fine. Maybe $249.99? Clearly $349.99 is too high and the $299.99 basic model isn't moving either. Nintendo's never released a console anywhere CLOSE to this expensive.

They could cut price on 3DS because they were makng a huge profit on it; they're taking a loss on the Wii U at present, so if they cut price they'll be losing even more money per unit. Not a good move.
