That's another good point. PS4 & XB1 will show how the Wii U stacks against them and they can adjust their strategy / price accordingly.

20K is absolutely terrible for sure but I don't know why anybody would think they'd be better. It doesn't "definitely call for a price cut" when the reason your system isn't selling has nothing to do with the price. If it launched at $200, it would've started off even better and sales wouldn't have dropped as low but sales would've still been below 40K every week. That's what happens when a system gets no new games for over half a year and your system had about 3 good games to begin with.
I'd say a price cut by the end of 2014 is certain but the amount isn't. Saying they need a $100 cut before the release of more than 3 quality exclusives is jumping the gun a bit.
