It's too early to call a price-drop. It will depend on their fall/ spring lineup and how that picks up Wii U sales.

I never said when they'll price drop, but with the way the Wii U's been selling, sooner is much better than later. Plus the 3DS got a cut around this time afterall.

I meant that the Wii U's sales performance could vary wildly based on the new titles slated to come out. It could need a big price drop or none at all. It's just too hard to call.

Personally, I have no problem with a $300-$350 console because it is, indeed, cheaper than the competition. So long as it has titles. I just wish I could buy a Basic with Nintendoland because, hey, why do I need a delux when I have an external? In two or three years, though, the Wii U will be going for the second console slot alongside another Gen 8 console, and then it will be rather price sensitive. My guess is that it can't cost more than $250 at that point.

Well let's see. It's sold terribly so far, even the 3DS did better. That certainly screams "It's time for a price cut!" to me, as most people clearly don't like the price it's at right now. Of course games will help, but why not throw a price cut on top of them to really spark interest. This aggressive maneuver worked out great for the 3DS, so it seems like it should be a no brainer to do it again.
