you're not helping you're argument. It costs 300 dollars NOW, thats just with NintendoLand.  240 for just the 8gb basic that no one seems to want anyway. How quickly did GC price drop? wasnt it at about 100 bucks after being on the market for a year and a half? How long is it going to take for WIi U's price to drop to that level? what about 150? hell 200? Ninty is not going to take more losses.

$300 isn't a casual price point, simple as that. $250 is, $200 more so. Manufacturing costs will go down with time, as they do for all systems, and they will be able to cut the price without incurring further loss.
