2008, only if there's like a $250 Xbox, haha.

If you were Nintendo, why would you make less money when your product is still selling like mad? And no one can say when sales will cool, I could see it still super super popular well after Christmas. It's been selling crazypants and it has so few games NOW, imagine after the Big Three at least.

Off topic, but why must people say it has so few games?

Super Paper Mario
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Excite Truck
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
Pokemon: Battle Revolution
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The Bigs
Scarface
Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree
The Godfather: Blackhand Edition
Mario Party 8
Warioware: Smooth Moves
Sonic and the Secret Rings
Wii Play
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
SSX Blur
Rayman: Raving Rabbids
Wii Sports
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Madden 07
Elebits

All very buyable games for a wide variety of players. Compare that to the 360 after it had been out for 8 months and the current PS3 and that's a fairly good list.

-edit-
And don't take this as me saying that the 360 or PS3 had bad games, I'm just saying when looking at the other two, the list of Wii games isn't bad at all and comparable and even better (though that's my own opinion).

Off topic: This is the same thing that happens when anyone says the PS3 doesn't have any games. Just like one person can look at the Wii list and say, "Hell yeah, those are great!" and another person can look at the PS3 lineup and say, "Whoa! What a lineup!" Either way, it's tiresome. The point is, the AAA offering on both systems is slim.

On topic: When the wii stops selling out, we'll have to take a look at it's weekly sales. What if it's selling between 70-100k a week ... do you think they would bother with a price cut? And, the chances are we won't see a price cut until 2009. In 2008, they could release the Wii in new colors and it would increase sales. And you know how Sony and Microsoft are decreasing manufacturing costs? Guess who else is ... when they do cut the price, they could still offer Wii Sports as a pack-in and sell it for 199.99.
