Nintendo Land is bundled with the deluxe but games that are bundled don't drive up the price a whole $60 or even the extra $50. Nintendo is likely making less losses on the deluxe for this reason. It's not profit yet but once the Wii U console itself breaks even they will likely begin making money on the deluxe specifically because of Nintendo Land. If they are able to break even by this Holiday and sell enough fr NL to make up its cost, they might consider just giving it away. This would allow them to do a bigger price cut.
This scenario is very unlikely but that's the only way I see them possibly doing it...

You're welcome. It really is a simple concept. Wii U isn't in the same situation as 3DS because it was sold at a loss to begin with.
