With the 2013 line-up - No.

Maybe, maybe after Smash Bros, Mario Kart 8 and a $100 price drop. So late 2014?

If you mean a 200$ wii-u i don't think you'll see one till 2016 at the earliest. 

I think it will be sooner than that. $50 cut this year and discontinue 8gb then in 2015 cut to $200, also i think its possible it will be $200 on black friday 2014.

totally disagree.  They won't drop the price this year.  They already have the lowest priced console on the market for next gen.  They're releasing a bunch of games in the not to distant future.  They'll take this oppurtunity to try to move units via software.  1st price cut in 2014, second in 2015.  If the 8 gig does get discontinued that will bring the price down to 250.    but we'll see won't we.

It may be the lowest, but valuewise it's very poor compared to a much more powerful PS4 with 500gb harddrive for only $50 more.  

Dropping Nintendoland in favour of Super Mario 3D World might help the value proposition but likely retailers will include a game or two with PS4's anyway. 

Also PS3/360 which plays the same multiplatforms will likely get a cut when the new systems come out further eroding WiiU's value proposition.

I figure they'll need to do at least a $50 price drop or get crushed this holiday season.
