Not unless the production price for Wii U goes down significantly somehow before the end of May. Nintendo was losing money back when they were selling the console by itself for $300; dropping the price for the console by essentially $110 (assuming Mario Kart costs $60), would put them at an even worse position than they're in already.

Once again, the Wii U always comes bundled with a game now. MK8 will not increase the cost anymore than the already bundled games.

While that's true, the difference here is that there are no Wii U bundles that are going for $250 (outside of ones repriced by retailers to simply get rid of their stock). What you're asking for is Nintendo, who was already losing money on the $350 Wii U bundle when it came out, and then cut the bundle price and started eating bigger losses, to now once again increase their loss per console with a bundle that adds another $50 in the negative. That's not going to happen.

Yep, it wont happen, just like with the first price cut... oh wait! Why you guys still seem to think losing money is the only factor that plays into whether or not they should price cut despite Nintendo proving twice already that it's not, I'll never know!
