Yeah I don't expect a price drop come the end of the year. A very nice new Wii U bundle perhaps with game like Smash Bros, but that would be about it.
I think the Wii U is currently one of the nicer systems to get right now. It has a nice selection of first party titles already out, with Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, and Super Smash Bros this year, and next year we'll get the new Zelda, Xenoblade, probably Star Fox, and more.
