They make the most money from their own developed games most of the time (N64, Gamecube, WiiU). Perhaps Wii as well since they sold so much Mario Kart, Wii Fit, etc. games.

Current problem on WiiU is that the userbase is so low that even their best selling games only give them a decent profit, instead of a great one.
If you know that the library of a typical WiiU owner is consisting of over 50% of Nintendo developed (or at least published) titles, then they should pursue a higher userbase.

Obviously they shouldn't cut the price in half or whatever, but a slight price cut along with some added value by including a game or heck even a small third party hard drive should do the trick. The holiday season is only once a year, but they don't really offer enough to make people go out and buy their console.

I'm all for a price drop, I like to spend money as much as the next guy & I agree that a price drop helps the sales. I'm sure Nintendo is thinking about it, they have been in this business for quite a long so let's trust them a bit don't you think?

You speak as if companies that have been in the business for a long time can't make mistakes. Sony had been in the business for a long time when they butchered the PS3 launch. MS had been in the business for a long time when they butchered the X1 launch. And Nintendo had been in the business for a long time when they decided that it was a smart idea to release a console just a little bit more powerful than last gen for $350, just because it had a controller with a screen on it.  

And don't get me wrong, I actually like the Wii U's design, and I'm planning to buy one someday. But in my eyes (and obviously in the eyes of the millions of people that are NOT buying it), it is not worth $300.
