Should I wait for the next Wii U price cut?

You can't really trust comments like "no price cut" because many times we've heard this and then seen a price drop like 1-2 months later.

Like a few weeks before the 3DS by price cut by $80 I believe Iwata said they weren't considering a 3DS price cut and would wait for games to come out. 

I wonder perhaps if Mario Kart coming out in late May (basically June) may have something to do with a price cut coming around that time (right around E3 too) and they're just waiting for that time for component costs to drop.

The difference with this is that the Wii U is currently being sold at a loss while the 3DS at the time was being sold at a profit. In addition, the performance of the Wii U during the time it was out on the market suggests a problem that can't be fixed with a simple price cut. If they can drop the cost of components, then a price cut will most likely happen, but if not then there's a risk of actually doing worse financially when you cut the price.
