WiiU target of 3.6m units will need more manufactured than in current inventory, no loss from hardware any more, more games at E3

But but but... the manufacturing will never get cheaper!!1!

Insert joke about can't sell at a loss if you aren't selling.

But on a more serious, less tongue in cheek note, who exactly was claiming production prices would never drop lower?, additionally, this is either going to mean nintendo cling to the current pricing to claw back some of the cash lost in taking a hit per sale, or theyre going to drop the price a little more, with the forcast theyve given for 2014 though it looks like theyre going to hold on to the current pricing.

Max King of the Wild. He even proposed, laughably, that production costs would go up over time.
