Whether or not this is true depends on how people feel about mandatory PS+.
If they just see it as an extra cost they don't want to deal with, then the argument makes more sense--especially over time. Free netplay was one key advantage the PS3 had over the 360 once it went down in price. But if people feel that it's enough of a value add, then the Premium WiiU being $50 less than the PS4 won't help much.
Either way, though, the WiiU isn't in a comfortable enough position to keep prices as they are. They should do whatever they can to push sales.
