Will we see next-gen pre-order cancellations now that WiiU got a price cut?

No, we won't. The Wii U lacks appeal, no matter the price. The price and game library are the no the main concerns of the Wii U, it is simply poorly designed and aimed between two markets, hitting neither and that is why it will never be very popular.

SSB when that comes the WiiU will be more appealing :) 

Of course it will, the fall/winter line-up is bound to cause a massive sales spike over the holidays. I do think, however, that come 2014 from the second half of Q1 and onwards, both the massive titles and the price cut will prove ineffective in keeping the Wii U relevant on the market compared to the competition.

At this point, the Wii U might manage a measly 5-5.5 million units after one whole year on the market, even if it were to double that, the sales would still only be okay in a modern console market. To think that these (probable) 5 million were projected for end of March 2013 shows just how little clue they had about the lack of appeal of this thing, they completely misread the market and really dropped the ball on the core design.

I guess time will show but I stand firm by my initial impression after having seen the Wii U for the first time; it is not destined for greatness, games and price be damned.

PS: Weren't Nintendo fans spending the whole 7th gen chanting about how price doesn't matter?
