I know Nintendo hardcore fans don't want to here this, but I think the Wii U is in a serious need of another price cut, and fast. Yes, I know the holidays season and SMW3D are gonna boost some sales, but in January Nintendo might find itself back in reality and go back to the "We're sure that SSB and MK 8 are gonna boost some sales" situation.
Now, I know that Nintendo is probably going to lose money on every console if they do this, BUT I think in the long term they're going to lose even more, if they don't do it. 3rd party developers might run away from them and most importantly, INVESTORS might run away from them if this situation continues.
So, to wrap things up, I think that if they absolutely cannot do a price cut, at the very least they should add more value to their console by throwing in more games into their bundles. But I think they need to do something, and fast.

It needs to be $199.99 right now, despite what apologists will say.
It can maybe may some hay as a "secondary console you pick up for Mario Kart" and "cheap console for kids" type thing, but it's still to expensive for that right now.

Well, I'm not sure they have to go that low to turns things around. I mean, I think $249.99 with bundles should be enough to keep sales on the 100K per week ratio, which is not that bad. But then again, we don't know what are Nintendo's goals for the console; but I think if they want to get anywhere near the 50 millions units LT, then they need to take drastic measures asap.
