I don't think the 2 are related really.
The Wii U is pretty price inelastic, so why bother cutting profit margins? Nintendo isn't the kind to dramatically cut a systems price just to get rid of stock, they're the kind to not replenish stock they know they won't sell. In the case of the Wii U it has zero games arriving beyond Zelda and is a tarnish on their name, they don't want it next to Switch in Toy R Us. The gamecube still received a lot of games in 2006.
