It launched at £300, but since around February it has been £240-£250 everywhere, and has had the occasional £200 sale (to clear out stock I assume). I don't think Ninendo can match this really without losing a lot, and it wouldn't change anything in the consumers eyes.

The bigger issue is the loss the retailers will have been making, meaning they have to convince them that the Wii U will sell before they put any effort into stocking them or promoting them at all.

Hrm, guess it just needs games over there then. Still, an official cut to £200-£150 would enable retailers to sell them at those prices without losing as much profits, which is important for keeping good relations with retailers, as without them Nintendo would be screwed. Oh, and of course any price cuts they make should coincide with a key release.

Yeah, it will be all about the games. I don't think the pricing of £200-£250 is that that bad anyway when looking at £350-£430 for PS4 and X1. The bigger problem is the PS360 both being at £140, and people see the same games being released for both.
