Target has dropped the price of Wii U Basic to $240, which is 20% off the normal $300 price of the 8GB system. The US retailer has followed suit along with Asda and Amazon UK, which marked the system down to £149 earlier this month. Other retailers in the US have yet to counter the markdown, but Amazon US is selling it for $280, which is $40 more than Target. Likely, the site will match the price eventually.
