The Wii-U is heavily overpriced and a price cut / new model becomes more likely once they sold all their launch units. The game pad uses very old and outdated technology (display and wireless communication) and can be produced for under 30$. It does not even need components for standalone operation and is basically just a wireless display in a plastic shell with buttons.
The Splatoon / Smash bundle Black Friday deal price will become normal soon because the price can already be reached without a loss. The high price for very outdated hardware is one of the main reasons for the consoles failure, along with the gamepad thatz nobody understands and a lack of games / 3rd party support.
