So the Wii U price drop was announced, but it won't take effect until September 20th...I don't understand why Nintendo would announce it now then because as a result of that Wii U sales will plumet even lower than before until the price drop takes effect. Does anyone have a reason as to why Nintendo would announce it now? Or do you think they made the wrong move too?

Does this even need to be asked? How could it conceivable be a wrong move? It's called hype. You announce something like this to build up hype, and to build interest. A lot of people are going to want that Zelda bundle, and a lot more will be more enthusiastic towards Wii U period considering it's now the $100 cheaper than PS4 that it needs to be to succeed.
Besides, what real purpose would it serve to wait until right beforehand to announce? Look at all the talking this stirred up on the internet. That's what they wanted, and that's what they needed: people talking about Wii U again.

One week before would have been sufficient, not three weeks. The hype won't last forever, by the time the price drop actually happens the hype is gonna die off, people that would have bought the Wii U off impulse are no longer gonna because of the three week wait.

It worked for the 3DS in 2011. They strongly believe it will work for the WiiU. It's funny how this almost mimicks the 3DS pricedrop. We'll soon see if it works again.
