Best chance is for Wii U to drop earlier than both, and then drop again in holidays. Just the effect of dropping. even by $25 could cause a boost, but that really depends on marketing more than anything else.

 

Honestly, they need to fix there Terrible marketting, this is why the pricecuts have barely done anything/unstainable, and the wii U's poor baseline as it is. The source of many of the Wii U's faults

Based on?

Sounds like a horrible strategy. The wii u will probably get a pricecut this year and only next year will se another permanent price cut.

The only difference between dropping twice and dropping once, is the loss between the two price drops. That doesn't mean they won't drop the same amount. Its better than dropping and being overshadowed like it has been previous holidays.
