Uh what, Wii Us are still selling. A terribly low amount sure, but not zero, so all they'd have to do is stop making them and stock will eventually be cleared. I've bet they've already greatly slowed production to barely meeting what little demand there is. They wont recover anything selling at a loss that's for sure.

Xbox slim inbound.

The chances you are wrong are SLIM ;P

Why should they do anything? the PS4 is the stronger hardware, the Price of the Xbox One now is what it always should have been when Sony dropped to 350

Lol PS3 http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Price_cuts

Cut €50 from the price of a console which isn't selling, person who buys it is going to most likely buy a Nintendo Brand game for €50 which otherwise wouldn't have been sold without the price drop, instantly negates the "loss" on the systems sale.

On topic... this is odd timing for a price cut, I doubt many people will be jumping in and buying a console in the lead up to E3 announcements, if there is the chances of a slim on the way in then all this will do is a price cut to a system at a time when people are generally not as likely to want to buy it anyway, poor timing imo but we'll see what happens when MS hits the floor at E3, I'm sure they've got a good plan up their sleaves.

No, it doesn't. Nintendo is already ramping down production of Wii U (shipment forcast down 75% YoY) and plan on replacing it less than a year from now and has very little software to look forward to going forward.

An XBO price cut (to a price that is has been multiple times in the last 6 months) is going to make little to no difference in Wii U sales.

$199 slim?

I'm not talking about the Wii U.  I'm talking about the NX.  By the time it comes out the competition will be even cheaper 

Waste of time, PS4 has already won this gen.
