Wii will be $199 by November... mark my words. Nintendo will be forced by their competitors to cut the price of the Wii once demand for the HD systems increases through Q4... just wait and see!
The influx of huge titles like Halo ODST, Modern Warfare 2, ect., coupled with the recent price drops of the 360 and PS3 is going to shift the focus toward the HD systems this holiday season, and apart from NSMB Wii, Nintendo doesn't have any other major AAA titles coming out in the near future.
Last year the Wii was still riding on a wave of popularity and the Wii Fit bandwagon, and being perpetually sold out made it the "must-own" system to the average consumer, despite having a pretty weak holiday line-up. Things are much different this year... Wii sales have been flat pretty much all year, and Nintendo's biggest game of the year so far, Wii Sports Resort, hasn't lifted the Wii's hardware sales as much as it could have.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
