I think that at this point Nintendo doesn't really care how much they'll sell. They are back to their roots and probably feel a bit comfortable again - they no longer lose money on hardware and will get a decent boost in the future. I think the fact that there was no price cut shows us that they don't want to fight for sales, but rather are interested in getting as much money as they can in the safest way possible. I think this is smart, Sony has been doing this with Vita for quite a long time until the production costs went down significantly. It's starvation mode, but they can't do anything else.
Profit on hardware + good sales of first party games is their target now, they don't really care about any given number of Wii Us sold. I think they'll cut the price the moment the production costs allow them to still be profitable when selling the console for $50 less than now. It's sad for the gamers, but wise for Nintendo.
Still, I hope that both Wii U and Vita will gain more momentum.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
