So is Nintendo not even trying to get sales now?

The UK retail has adopted Black Friday quite heavily this year (Black Friday has never been a thing over here).  Right now can find Xbox One and PS4 bundles for super cheap, like PS4+Driveclub for £280, GTAV and TLOU for £300, Xbone+CoD:AW for £270, Xbone+4 games for £300.  Plus lots more.

Meanwhile Nintendo bundles are sitting at the prices they were 6 months ago, or last year.  Many have no discount at all.  Wii U+SSB+MK+CPP =£300.  Thats right, costs more than the PS4/Xbone bundles.

Why has Nintendo not done deals with retailers for Black Friday deals?  Have they given up?  Do they think they don't have enough games to make back the discount loss in future software sales?

Iwata's radar doesn't work well outside of Japan. XD

More seriously though, I think we have seen a bunch of "Why is Nintendo not cutting pricez" type threads lately, and one has to assume that they thought it would be overall better to keep selling at the current price point and bundle games instead.

That seems fine except MS went price war cray cray, with offers as low or even lower than Wii U, which will take some attention from shoppers looking for the cheaper option.  Nintendo might not have expected that.
