Yes I know the Gamecube took a small hit back in the days but I don't believe it was anywhere to this extent?

18 months on and according to Nintendo, WiiU is still making a loss. Which I'm guessing rules out any impactful price cut they could have had this year.

Gamecube had an impressive amount of software sales. The WiiU... isn't really selling lot's of software :
