when will Wii U reach $200?

It won't get a "price cut" until 2014. However, that doesn't mean this holiday we won't see holiday sales plus bundling.

3DS got a cut because it has a massive $50 to $60 profit margin at launch. Wii U had a small loss at launch.

That is a big difference.

$200 won't be possible until 2015.

Q2 2014 they'll drop the dual skus and price to $250.
2015 we'll likely see $200.

 

(this is going on speculation that PS4/xbox will be $300-$350 on contracts and $450-$500 off)

Ur could be right about price cut, from a business perspective they propbably dont want to do a price cut til the next fiscal year and with high profile games releasing the 2nd half of the year along with a marketing push and holiday deals/bundles, Iit probably doesnt need one. So $50-70 cut in Q2 2014, $200 late 2015, $150 early 2017, I could see a price cut every 18 months or so.
