It's hardly a 'red flag'.

I agree they don't immediately get dropped. Infact prior to most recent generations, older consoles tended to live on for quite some time (SNES, PS1 and Nintendo hand helds actually had very long life spans by today's standards).
I think the issue is that this game is what they are attaching the price drop too, no?
Let me put it this way: If the game is what you want, why would I shell out $300 when I can just get it for the system I own? Would Wii U have seen these huge sale numbers if Kario Mart 8 came out on the Wii? I doubt it. If it's not on the 360 then suddenly that $300 look appealing.
