These price drops are not coming from Nintendo, they are coming from the shops that stocked on Wii U's and havent been able to sell them fast enough, which in the end only proves that the console is doing pretty bad if they cut 150$ off the price on the premium.
I do believe Nintendo is right in their vision, the future of consoles lays on changing the way games are played. Nowadays more and more people are switching to PCs because consoles can't beat them when it comes to graphics or online multiplayer, or that most of the features that are being added to consoles either already are on PCs or work better on them. The only thing in which consoles excel over PCs is in-room multiplayer (another Nintendo focus). That said I doubt we are seeing anything of that with the Wii U, not focusing on graphics is one thing, but consoles need a good hardware in orther to stay relevant throughout the years which de Wiii U doesn't have. They also need to perfect the nunchuck and improve the gamepad if they trully want to make of the Wii U an alternative way of gaming, which seems to be their objective.
