Now that you mention this, it does seem very unusual. It goes to show you that Nintendo knows whats going on, just this time I think they were in so deep of an investment with the Wii U there was no just turning things around like with the 3DS, it has been brutal on consumers and probably themselves that they havent lowered the price though I think that in itself says not to buy for your average consumer, especially with PS4 and even Xbox One right beside it and with a similar price range.
I am ultimately glad I wasnt able to get a Wii U last year, I know I skipped playing Xenoblade Chronicles X and that probably surprised many (including myself), but some times their is still not enough justification, and I felt that was definitely the case with the Wii U.
Now as for the NX, thats a completely different topic all together. I havent bought Nintendo stuff in a while and tbh a NX has the potential to be a launch purchase for me. Remember I bought the original Wii on Launch (Nintendo is about the only console maker I would even buy on launch) and while I enjoyed what little I played on it, I sold it to use the cash on my PS3. Anyway the point is Nintendo is due to make something awesome again and from what I have heard of the NX so far it definitely has me raising an eye brow. Also its important to note that the Wii U has been the only really bad console from Nintendo in a very long time, possibly ever, NES SNES N64 GC and Wii have all had classic memorable games and not saying that Wii U doesnt but its library is missing ALOT compared to its predecessors. Cant wait for the NX reveal when ever it ends up being.
