eh
wii U needs a price cut.

No, what they really need is more software.  If they were smart, they would emulate the 3DS (or 2DS) on the Wii, use the WiiU pad to emulate the touchscreen on the 3DS, and offer 3DS games via download or via a cart adaptor.  There are a LOT of 3ds games I want to play, but I have zero interest in another handheld unit...let me play the games on my big screen at home and I will buy a WiiU tomorrow!

Why not both? Of course price drop would help too. 

About wii U emulating 3DS, i think it is not possible. wii U was not thought to do this. They cant do a simple crossbuy/crossplay between a comon game like shovel knight

 

I think the issue with crossbuy/crossplay on Shovel Knight was more political than technical...
