Nintendo:

Septemper 2012: WiiU doesn't need a price cut.

January 2013: WiiU doesn't need a price cut.

June 2013: WiiU doesn't need a price cut.

August 2013: WiiU doesn't need a price cut.

Later in August 2013: WiiU is getting a price cut.

This...is...I seriously don't know whether to be amused, confused, or just tired.

nobody ever says a price cut is coming until a few weeks before it happens. No company in there right mind would announce a price cut 2+ months before it happens.

That's not it. It's just that they've adamantly defended the price of their console for almost a year...and then this. They seriously should have waited at least another couple weeks so that Iwata's last defense of the price had time to settle. As it is, it's like Nintendo saw how much better Microsoft was doing after the "Xbox 180" and decided to do the exact same thing, right down to contradicting statements made mere weeks ago. Like a Wii U-Turn.
