The cut is long overdue. And I'm affraid at this point mere $50 won't cut it. They should go with at least the 3DS-type of $70 or $80 cut. The console isn't worth the current asking price, especially when compared to the price of Xbone and the inevitable PS4 cut.

Wii U needs a $199 price tag, but it can only get it if Nintendo still believes in the system, which I think it no longer does.

Yeah but not in the way you think it...

249$ this year and 199$ next year,it's more effective than one price cut of 100$ drop this year,also more financially viable...The same with gc,199$->2002->149$->2003->99$...

Wow 3DS initial price was 249$ with a 100 dollars manufacturing cost?:O I didn't know it because I didn't care for the first 3DS as I was sure an xl version would come and I waited,rightly eventually,I don't like small screens!:P

I think at this point they should go $299->$229->$199 or $179. The Wii U has been on the market for so long and is struggling so much that $50 won't change much. And $229 looks much better than $249, it's way closer to the impulse purchase territory and on the other hand, it's still $30 over the $199 price.
