It was clarified later that that is not true

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Lol @ people taking the title literally and spreading doom and gloom...
Great news for those who wanted to get it cheaper, it would have been great if they could have it at that price not only at launch but for everyone but oh well, the beauty of retail market means you can get deals like that anyway.

My plan is to wait for the next hardware revision before making a purchase.

If $99 is too expensive... heck if $299 is too expensive... you have bigger issues to worry about than gaming. And I say this as a person who hates Nintendo.

$50 off is not bomba. If it was $100 off then it is. So those of you who are holding off, keep waiting.
Wait, the price in the title is not the price you can actually buy it for?

Costco is taking the loss on this, not Nintendo.

Erm, if someone sells a gum for $10 I can afford it but I'll still think it's too expensive and therefor not buy that shit... Saying that doesn't mean I have financial issues, it's strictly telling about the value I see in a product and what I'm willing to pay for it.
What? I'm referring to people running with the bombing aspect because a wholesaler offers the thing cheaper than MSRP, like it's the first time a retailer sells something cheaper. Which isn't to say WiiU is doing well or anything, but this is irrelevant.

Wholesale is usually a good way to find deals

Mighty tempting, but I'm still holding off. For now.
At least. The hardware itself isn't worth it.

$250 for the black/delux WiiU and we have a deal.

Soccer Mom: "Why would I pay $245 for a tablet to connect to my Wii?"
well, the one crying here is the retailer, with that said...
finally that price drop!
oh wait-
It was a joke how everyone still wants to see the price going down, even when it just went down. You can apply that logic until it would theoretically hit the $99 mark, and it would still be considered expensive.

Lower price is great and all, but there still isn't a single game available that remotely interests me.

Yet another piece of evidence that points to the fact that Costco > Sam's Club.
This is my price point to buy when it has next to no games I want. Otherwise I will wait a year or so. Of course Nextbox/PS4 may take my money by then.

Maybe if they bundled some games to go with it as well. $250 seems steep for what you're getting and the future releases that we know at this current moment in time
