Excellent move, even though it's a punch in the gut for Nintendo financially. Still, no worse a pummeling than they've taken by NOT moving consoles since last November.
Honestly, the Wii U will be very much worth owning by Christmas. Zelda Wind Waker HD, Super Mario 3D World, a new DK Country (haters gon' hate; I love me some 2D DKC), plus great games like Pikmin 3 and Rayman Legends--games that don't move systems by themselves, but become appealing once one has the console to run them.-
Dropping the 3DS price when they did was a gut punch, too, but one that wound up working out in the long run. They're hoping history repeats itself and that parents who go holiday shopping get turned off by the PS4 and Xbox One barrier of entry and opt for, "Hey, this Nintendo thing is $300 and it comes with a game!"

I'm sure you can find someone who would trade gamepads.

Wow, the tone of the Shack on the Wii U sure seems to have changed. Is 299 the magic number for nintendo? I think 250 would be, but we will see.

The best thing with Nintendo is to just wait a few years. None of their games have a really strong multiplayer component or period of relevance. They are great games and they will be 2 years from now. I won't give a shit about battlefield 4 when 5 or 6 are out, but I'll go back and play all the Zelda's I've missed.
This is a problem for Nintendo because by then I'm buying the console off craigslist for $100 and the games for $10 on amazon.
