Is Nintendo declaring war on the other 2? Is it time to unite to take down this tyranny?!

This is all just so amusing. It really reminds me about how everyone expected Ouya to take down the big three.

Nintendo announced stuff we didn't expect, so now we are confused and having to rethink everything over again. Nintendo could do great, or not. Their actions today won't really change their fate this holiday though.

Not going to change their fates this holiday? For one thing, their sales were already destined to pick up with Mario, Zelda, DKC and Wii Fit coming out. This $50 price drop and the Zelda bundle just ensure that sales ARE going to pick up. Being $100-200 cheaper than the competition, neither console, by the way, which will come packed with a game (to my knowledge), and both of which charge you to play games online....that alone is going to make this console very attractive to a lot of people now, they may have been on the fence, or undecided about which console to get period.

I think this will indeed "change their fate" and make them strong competition this holiday season.

All those bolded things are news of the past. If they were going to save the wii u, they were going to save the wii u. This $50 quasi price cut and zelda bundle are far from the best things Nintendo is giving the Wii U this holiday. People are just hearing this news combined with the 2DS and freaking the fudge out.
