I don't think Ninty needs the Wii drop, it's true that sales are not like in the beginning, but they are still the champs in every region, and their upcoming games are going to draw more sales, even if the PS3 Slim beats them (i don't think so but who knows) this holiday season they will be profiting a lot more between their consoles and their major 1st party lineup (that always passes the 5m barrier and sometimes the 10m barrier)...
If their profit margin is $6 per console, and let's say their sales are down to 8 million (last holiday season they were more than 9), it's still 8 million that profit on hardware + software, if they drop the price and the sales go up, they will depend entirely on software, that will translate in less profit... And even if the margin is bigger than $6 and the drop still makes a profit, the sales will not compensate for the drop and the profit will still be less...
