It's not surprising, it's being touted as a price cut but if it is it's the weakest in history. (Not in terms of how many units it shifts, that's yet to be seen) But the baseline is still the same and it was less than 15% off the original. They've added more value tho which I think in itself is more important.

At the end of the day the games are what are going to shift WiiU this holiday, don't think this change in sku/price is going to contribute to sales at all.

Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Splinter Cell Blacklist and Zelda: WWHD are games though (last I checked). Pretty good ones at that. 

I didn't say at what level they would sell the console, regardless, the games coming this fall will obviously have more impact than those.

I only see two games, maybe even 1 honestly that could cause a large hardware spike -- Mario 3D World. DKC: TF is more of a supplimentary game, not neccessarily a system seller per se (provided it's not delayed). 

The scary thing is the Wii U already has a 4-player Mario platformer as its main title, so there is definitely some redundancy to what Mario 3D World brings to the table.
