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)

Considering that $299 for Basic SKU was priced when yen was weak, I'd say they can slice a bit off for the holidays. Around $20.

They need a better bundle for Deluxe SKU though. Or standalone deluxe for $299.
