More Wii price cut evidence

Are you so sure about that? The 360's become more casual now with the Arcade and is $50 cheaper. It definitely hasn't stolen a lot but probably stole few potential Wii buyers. The PS3 is now at $300. Only $50 from the Wii. Casuals can buy that for whatever games and a blu ray player. But a $100 difference is pretty big.

WSR launched but it didn't do too much for HW (though I expect it to be big during the holidays). The price cut can only help them sales wise and meet their projections.

Edit: Last year the PS2 got a $30 cut to $99 despite its huge library and sold more too.

The Wii did not become so successful because it's "casual". You've been around here long enough, haven't you read the birdman article? It's come up often enough.
