Indeed. The fact is that in order to play DKCTF, people are having to pay $350 (unless they own the console already, of course). This is unprecedented with Nintendo. If DK, the upcoming MK8, or Smash were bundled with WiiU for $249 it would result in a night and day difference in sales.
They need a price cut, pronto, and at this point I don't care what they have to do to achieve it. Sell a SKU without the Gamepad, have Iwata take another pay cut... hell, man-up through another fiscal loss if you have to Nintendo. This is going nowhere. These games will not even reach the amount of consumers the Gamecube's did unless something is done immediately.
Regardless of what the competition is doing, when the price for new consumers to play a new hit Nintendo game is still $350 over a year later, then...
