The only way we see a price drop for Wii U this year is if sales really, really stagnate in the second half despite new software launches.  If it really seems the public is rejecting Wii U, a desperation price drop could be done to get the product out there.

So we will see a price cut this year.

It doesn't matter what you count as the Wii U's competition, the fact is that it isn't selling at its current price and a handful of good games aren't going to change much about that.

Hard to say for sure.  Wanning interest in PS360 may also impact things, and so could improved promotion.  One challenge is the biggest game, 3D World, won't be out till December.
