Does Nintendo get in on the action soon?

Nintendo is pretty confident that a lack of software is their problem. What exactly does a price cut do, let the buyer keep more money on hand so he/she can spend it on games they don't want?

If gamers liked the games the Wii already has, then they would've bought one by now; if they don't, they're not going to buy a Wii when Nintendo cuts the price.

But these guidelines dont apply to the ps3?

The PS3 is in direct competition with the 360, since the two consoles are pretty similar in power, and have mostly the same games; gamers interested in one, would likely be interested in the other.  When Microsoft cut the price of the 360 last year, and Sony didn't, the 360 started stealing away the fans who felt the extra $100 savings overrode any potential benefit the PS3 offered.  Lowering the price of the PS3 will help Sony, as it will convince people now considering the 360 to buy a PS3 instead.

Nintendo is unaffected because the Wii is so different, people interested in it don't care about the HD consoles, and people interested in an HD console don't care about the Wii; or if they did care, then they're going to buy both.
