If this is true, then why the **** is the Wii U selling for $299?

it will all make sense once you see the first tear down of NX's components.

Once this thing drops the Wii U should be less than $200. No offense to Nintendo, but its no longer worth it. They cannot have two consoles on the market at competing prices. Unless the NX has proper third party support the Wii U will cannibalize it once its sales stabalize. Nintendo has also got to notice that the five year development scale no longer works. Sony showed everyone a world where you can have a proper trilogy come out on one console via two to three year development cycles. I know Nintendo marches to its own drummer, but the new generation of gamers are more apt to respond to a console that just last longer. The Wii U in this day and age just seems like a cop out.
