I think both are making the right call. Microsoft has to be able to compete directly with the PS4, and (as sales have shown) it can't do that while priced $100 higher and bundled with an unpopular peripheral.
The Wii U is already $100 cheaper than the other two systems, and it was already selling poorly long before either of them launched. Its problem is not its price, but its lack of compelling system-selling software. The Wii U is already a misunderstood product. The GamePad itself is the focus of most of the ads for the console. Remove the GamePad from the box and you'll have some confused target customers on your hands.
