I think we could see better value bundles but at thr same price, meaning Deluxe goes down to $299 and release bundles at $349. Some possible bundles being

Deluxe w/NSMBU+Wiimote-$349

Deluxe w/Wii Fit+Balance Board-$349

Deluxe w/COD+Pro Controller-$349

So a true price cut isnt really necessary since there will be plenty of holiday deals/bundles.

I could see this happening minus the balance board part.  A game is one thing but that balance board is not super cheap to make (at least when compared to a game).

How much do those typically cost?

No idea, but even a cheap bathroom scale runs 20 bucks.  A lot more than just a disc costs no?  I suppose they could do it if they wanted to be aggressive (compared to where they are at now).

Does Wii U Fit have the ability to be as big as the first one?  Are we still riding a console work out craze?  I think Mario Kart bundled is their best bet, but that is NEXT holiday.

This holiday would be Mario Land.
