What would be the better move for Nintendo with the Wii U, temporary price cut or use the money on a huge advertisement campaign

First time ever that someone described the NES as a moderate hit.

60m? Every Playstation will surpass that and even XB1 has a good shot at outselling it.

Think, when this gen is over NES could be down to the 8th highest selling home console of all time, and given this was Nintendo's highest selling console up until Wii ....

40m - 65m is a moderate hit, it's Playstation 1, 2 and 3, Xbox 360 and Wii all selling over 90m that are big.

Today's standards, sure 40 million - 65 million may be a moderate hit in console sales.
Although, in the 1980s those sales were considered a big hit for any given console. The Nintendo Entertainment System is often referred to as revitilising the console market. Neither Sony or Microsoft have that claim because there was nothing to revitilise, merely to capitalise on a concept that had expanded exponentially.

Sure Wii U sales have not blown any records out of the water; however you are severely underestimating the impact of the Nintendo Entertainment System and to a lesser degree the Super Nintendo Entertainment System for that matter.
