Again, one must consider the effects of inflation. If the Wii U were to sold in North America in 2007, it would cost only $10 more than the Wii. Because the dollar has devalued by about 12% since 2007. If we compare to the GC and N64 the price is comparable when considering inflation, and then the SNES/NES the price is significantly less. Overall, since Nintendo is finally making a profit on Wii U's, unless the potential profit from a larger user base from a price drop sooner on game sales exceeds the profit they are now getting on hardware, they will not drop the price.
