The answer is they won't. A Wii U costs 180$ to make and with it being 299.99$ they would only get 120$ for profits which isn't that good already. It won't happen and it shouldn't. It's cheaper than the other consoles by 100$.


Where are u getting those numbers.   according to Iwata in Marxh of this year he said it still cost more to make a Wii U than they can sell them for-   Maybe the $180 # is the basis they have in this fiscal years inventory die to writing off a bunch from last year at a loss but they are still not breaking even on newly manufactured consoles 

 

the $228# mentioned above for manufacture before shipping R and D and marketing makes sense
