[Wii U] Nintendo confirms that the Wii U is still being sold at a loss

Are you waiting for the Wii U to drop in price? If so I'd recommend you get comfortable, because Nintendo has confirmed that they still aren't making a profit on individual console sales.

GI.biz is reporting that Nintendo confirmed the sad state of affairs just today. This disappointing news is less than desirable follow-up to Nintendo's recent annual report either. That was the infamous report that confirmed that the console distributor had only managed to ship 160,000 units globally over a few months.

There are those among us who remember the 3DS launch all too well, it suffered from the same sort of issues that the Wii U is currently suffering from. Thankfully Nintendo has managed to find some form with their handheld platform with a number of high calibre titles; now the Wii U needs that effort. Of course, a huge part of the comeback of the 3DS was the drastic price cut Nintendo were forced to apply, they do not seem eager to do that again for the Wii U.

When do you think Nintendo will apply their first price cut? Have you picked up a Wii U yet; if not, why?
