No price cut whatsoever doesn't exactly put Nintendo in a great position this holiday even with Mario 3D World + DKC.

PS3- $199.99 (12GB); $249.99 (500GB?)
360 - $179.99? (4GB) gotta be a price drop coming

Wii U - $349.99 (32GB)

PS4 - $399.99 (500GB)
XB1 - $499.99 (500GB)

It's stuck between a rock and a hard place.

If ur using the cheapest sku for all the consoles, why not so the same for Wii U? Basic-$299, ur point still stands just seems weird.

It looks like the Basic is being phased out entirely. So if the deluxe becomes the only SKU, I just don't see how they can't drop the price. It would be suicide.
