Most probably it can resist until after Xmas clearance sales before an official price cut, but only if Ninty is damn serious about relaunching it, combining a good Xmas titles range followed by some more good titles around the price cut period, to boost its effects as much as possible. Possibly some good Xmas and price cut bundles too.
Last but not least, using free online multiplayer as PR weapon against MS and, since PS4, Sony too (just like Sony used very well the DRM and used games issues against MS). To avoid PR backfire, though, Ninty should remove region lock.

Would that even work out well? Nintendo isn't really known for being the online multiplayer/online infrastructure console imo. You can't play the big games like bf4 and cod ghost(not sure on this one though). They are behind both ms and sony in that regard.

Good PR underlines favourable parts of reality and ignores or downplays unfavourable ones.
