They will,it's inevitable(Especially if the successor is near,although for me is winter 2017,i.e not so near but I can see the announcement of it in E3 2016 because there is a trend,dolpin(gc) tease 1999,announcement E3 2000,release in the holidays 2001,revolution(wii) tease 2004,announcement E3 2005,release in the holidays 2006,NX if it's a home console of course,tease was in 2015,announcement E3 2016 ?,release in the holidays 2017?)...
It's wii u's third year,gc got two,one in 2002 and another one in 2003 and they were big with a great effect,especially in the USA...
Do you want any prediction?May 7th,Fiscal year 14 results announcement!It had been said the nintendo wouldn't do a price drop before the end of the fiscal year...
The situation is ambiguous though,Iwata was recently showed that they don't rule out the possibility but someday with some statements of his I got that nintendo is very reluctant to do a price cut...(He had said that is about the games and not the price or what they do with 3DS wouldn't work with wii u or something like these,I love iwata but this aspects exasperated me,price cuts always Ehave way greater effect than game releases!)
Edit: I'm seeing a 50$ drop and I want another 50$ in 2016..Like gc had in 2002 & 2003
