The trade price of the 8GB Wii U Basic has been slashed by around £70 in the UK, according to industry site MCV.
The new pricing is said to have come into effect in late October, with one retail source telling the site that Nintendo is trying to "clear out" remaining stock of the 8GB console.
The trade price of the 32GB Wii U Premium has not changed, the site claims.
The price cut may be the reason behind the attention-grabbing Wii U Basic deals over Black Friday weekend, with one retailer offering up the hardware plus Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, NintendoLand, Wii Party U and a Wii Remote Plus for less than £200. The console typically sells for around £149.99.
Nintendo has not officially announced a price cut for the Wii U Basic. However, the platform holder does not set retail prices for its consoles in the UK, with retailers instead settling on a price point themselves.
