"The 3DS's price cut was basically slightly below break even. The Wii U is also being sold slightly below break even and Nintendo can't afford to take a major loss on hardware, therefore Nintendo cannot and will not drop the Wii U's price. Nothing else to it."
Nintendo has tons of cash- they can afford to invest some of it in the Wii U including selling the console at a loss- or greater loss than they originally planed- IMO Nintendo is being "penny wise and pound foolish" re the Wii U- or they don t have the confidence to invest the extra $$ s in the console to give it a better chance of succeeding
