*EDIT: Forgot to mentioned the 10$ if you buy destiny for x1. That is the fourth desperate move by MS is the 7-8 months of launch. Nintendo did this very first desperate move (to my knowledge is the first)in almost 2 years and you think nintendo  is more desperate? ok sure.

And FYI you cannot include the 60$ for mario cart in the discount since every wiiu delux includes a game. I admit I'm forcing it a bit here, but its worth noting nontheless.

Just to respond to this part that you added after I quoted you.

You are being selective of what counts for desperate.  Let's look at the desperation of Nintendo.  

- Drop the price of their 32 GB bundle by $50    

- 3DS also gets a $80 price cut after sales are down, has to give free games to early adopters to smooth things over

- Consoles are almost all bundled with a game.  ( Wind Waker, New Super Mario Wii U/Luigi U, Zombi U, MK8, NintendoLand, Skylanders, 

- Free accessories and free game with MK8 purchase, not just for the console, but MK 8 in store, just the game and get a free game.  

- Free Four Swords Adventures

- Free Pokemon X or Y when you register your 3DS and a game

- Actually a lot more free games given away, something you don't need to do unless you need to boost sales.

These must all be desperate to, right?  A free game is more desperate than $10 off a new release, something many stores do anyway.

I think I did edit that after you quoted, dint notice.

But lets see, 50$ price cut after a year on the market compared to 100$ percived price cut after 6 months on the market and the 75$ you an say is selective but a lot of people are being offered and still will until the end of the month, perhaps more.

All consoles after a while are bundled with a game. If you can show me any of the past gen that dint do this. Some like the x1 got the forza bundle only like 3-4 months after the console realesed.

And the rest wich you have mentioned seem to be 3ds deals. Probably the sillies thing to point out since after all that the 3ds is killing it and compared to the x1 all the things they have done and are still way behind getting minor boosts.

And you know why I mentioned the 10$ back, because the x1 fanbase threw a hissy fit after the ps4 bundle with destiny and where crying and wyning like little babies on all social medias. Making petitions so that no x1 owners buys destiny and twiter was inundated with hate for bungi. And you can see that this deal was made by MS, not bungy or ubisoft as a atempt to calm them down because otherwise september would have been ps4 10:1 x1 and for the rest of the year wich would have been the final nail in the cofin.
