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

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.

A week ago, the biggest counter-arguments to Nintendo having a great Holiday were -- "The Wii U is too expensive, maybe if it got a price cut, but at $50 less than the PS4 no one will buy it," and "Mario would push consoles but it's coming out too late (December) to make a difference."

Now both of those issues have been rectified, and you have no actual reason to give for the Wii U to have a bad Holiday. It comes with a game and still costs $100 less than the PS4, Mario is launching in time for Black Friday, the Holiday lineup is pretty nice, you don't have to subscribe to a paid-for service to play online multiplayer... it's going to have a good Holiday.
