| starcraft said: Hey everyone, ive just decided that i simply must have a Nintendo Wii. I currently just own a 360 but my last console was the N64 and the sheer awesomeness of upcoming and existing games like Zelda, SMG and Brawl simply bring back to many memories not to own the newer versions. I live in Australia where the Wii has a RRP of $400AU, which even with the exchange reate is grossly overpriced. I can get it for $388 but thats not that big a difference. My question is do people think the Wii will see a price cut after christmas, and if so when? I MUST own it, but i am prepared to wait. Im already uncomfortable with the amount i spend on gaming so i'd really like a price cut, because right now i'd have to get the console, a second controller for my bro, and at least two games which would start approaching $650AU, not including future games. So, do ppl think Australia will see a price cut or some sort of Platinum games deal anytime in the next 6-8 months? |
A price cut won't be considered until after the Wii is released in the parts of the world Nintendo hasn't yet released it because of the supply/demand ratio. Once Nintendo releases it everywhere and sales stagnate for ~6 months (which may or may not happen in 2008), Nintendo will probably do a price drop.
I would guess that they'd do it around August 2008 at the earliest, but likely later.
