I think the actual reason is because they already did it with the 3DS, and the resultz were not that great. Short term results.

Actually, you could argue that it did work for 3DS as it helped to kill Vita momentum, but the handheld and console markets are very different.

No offense, but I hate when people say this.  It ignores the fact that they are also very similar as well.  Many of the basics remain the same between the markets, and that is exactly what a price cut targets.  

I would also say that the Wii U isn't priced nearly as high as the 3DS was when launched.  The Wii U, for what you're getting (hardware wise), is not that expensive like the 3DS.  Wii U was priced with the 3DS in mind.
