If 3rd party publishers see that it is selling well, the games will come. As people already mentioned, a $100 price cut would hurt their profits too much. |
Well, short term profits would be hurt yes, but long term profits would be helped! You know what they say, you must first lose before you gain.
Also, the Basic model hasn't been selling in comparison to the Deluxe. A price cut wont help it improve it's sales against the Deluxe as long as the latter receives the same price cut. As such, only the price of the Deluxe really matters, and a $50 cut wouldn't put it at a price the Wii U hasn't been at already.
