I kinda want to force Iwata's hand in the same way

Well gamers are not buying them, so they shouldn't expect them to be supported (to a degree).

Watch it increase 170%.

Well this hasn't worked for the PSVita.
Nintendo isn't Sony..

Sony and Nintendo react differently to failure
It did for the 3DS.

Nintendo is now merging Portable and Console teams so I am guessing this is a good sign that they want to treat consoles equally

That coincided with a significant price drop.
Some are also looking forward to that.
Yeah, and Nintendo is ready to do this again if necessary because they can't afford flopping

Really? I can't see one for the Wii U before Q4 2013.
Aren't they already selling the Wii U at a loss? Could they afford loosing even more?

Prediction:
Ambassadors for Wii U = Xenoblade HD + Wind Waker HD + Mario Galaxy 1-2 HD as bonuses for those early adopters

They have to find ways to drive sales up. Dropping bombs is one of them.
I'd buy it at full price before the price drop starts if this were true.
But this is the real world we live in.

Assumming they get third party support for it. It may end up good but I think are a bit presumptionous that it would be better for the system should it bomb intially.

This works for Nintendo, not for 3rd parties.
If things continue at their current pace, I'd expect a price cut in Q3 similar to what they've done with the 3DS before.
I don't think anything earlier would even make any sense to begin with. Judging by Nintendo's current line-up they've got absolutely nothing for the next 6 months that could actually help hardware sales. It's a catastrophe, really. Somehow they seem to have expected that NSMBU and Nintendo Land would be able to carry the hardware on their own, which just wasn't going to happen. It's crazy to think that it's been nearly two years since they have first announced the console and yet we still haven't seen more than a handful of 1rst party games.
A price-cut won't help, if you don't have software to support it.
I also hope that Nintendo has something else for the next Holidays than "Mario Kart HD"...
No games, no sales, no third party support.
Good games, sales, no third party support because first party games are too strong.

How many months passed before the 3DS price was cut?

Can't see WiiU going below Vita this week.
Maybe PS3 though...

6 or 8?
If you sum up all the LTDs, what is the amount of copies sold so far among the titles in this week's top 50? 15M ?
6, it was early august I think.
I´d buy a WiiU for these titles alone (well add Metroid Prime Trilogy HD) if they drop the price.
Yeah, Sony has a way bigger focus on their console business.
You'll get 10 snes and 10 n64 games.

with off tv play I'd be fine with this too
