Well you gotta think, sometimes it's a lot less about sheer numbers and more about overall profit. Just look at the 3DS. A price cut could be more damaging than good to Nintendo at this point. As for the games, they will inevitably sell well, but the main people purchasing them will be people who either already own a Wii-U or plan on buying one in the near future. Just look at the GC; these same games sold great on that platform, but didn't prevent from finishing off the 6th gen in last place. Only time will tell though.
Also let us not forget the serious predicament Nintendo is in with third party support at the moment. There's no way the system can do much better without better third party support. A console can NOT sell on exclusives alone. I'm sure we all remember the Dreamcast...
