Nintendo's problem is shifting consoles and increasing the userbase. To do that they do need a price drop and increased value. This christmas here in the UK I think they need a £169/179 32GB wii u mario kart bundle. In that bundle you get credits lets say for 10 virtual console games of your choice. Also people buying the bundle get a christmas and new year gift code which if they use on the 25th Dec and Jan 1st entitles them to a free game on each day. This will be kept a surprise until the day but will be pretty good games. The advice will be to make sure all existing games will be seen by the console so the free games are not duplicates of games you already have.
This to me is how to shift wii u consoles. A great retail price and added value. The wii u console is a cheap ass console and there is no reason for it to sell at a price above hard drive equipped ps3's or 360s. It's Nintendo's denial of realiity regarding pricing that is doing them huge damage.
