I heard some guys talking about MKX at my barbershop...

Mainstream gamer sales confirmed

So looking back, I wonder what boosted the Wii U a few days ago? Was it more the sale on Smash (it was $45 list price) or the slight dip in Wii U price or both maybe? It seems stable now though, which is good. Now if we would get a price drop on it...

Maybe it has something to do with the ps4 being out of stock. Some just bought whats available the x1, some are waiting, some waited and are slowly jumping to the x1.

You can still get a PS4, but it'll be from a 3rd party seller instead of Amazon itself. This could a sign that Sony is preparing an official new SKU. I remember Tachikoma mentioning such thing earlier this year.

Or maybe the pe4 slim is coming early with,a $100 price difference

A slim PS4 at this point is way too soon. No console had its slim counterpart released within two years after launch. If we're going to see a slim, it will be next year. What may happen, though, is an internal revision that will drastically reduce manufacturing costs. Samsung began mass producing 8-gigabit GDDR5 chips. The PS4 currently uses 16 4-gigabit GDDR5 chips, so Sony can cut down the number of chips in half as well as shrinking the APU die.

While history agrees with you:
DDR5 can now use less slots 
A processor die shrink already exists according to rumor

If they could do it now, why wait?

Because putting out a Slim PLUS a $100 cut is playing too many cards and too soon.  To keep momentum constant, the best thing to do this year would be to cut to $299-$349.  Then, late next year, release the PS4 Slim with another $50 cut.  Then, the final big card to play in 2017 would be to drop to $199.  Finally, in 2018 we may see another $50 cut, most likely the final one, possibly with a final Slim revision.  It's also the same year we will probably hear about the PS5.
