I agree that Slim may have a role, but without rumours about a cut furtherly affecting sales, Wii could still afford doing without a cut this Xmas and actually cut at some point in 2010. Even without a cut, Wii manages to outsell XB360 immediately after a cut, so its first place is still safe for a long time, as even a mighty Slim must reach XB360 first, before attacking Wii. But obviously, there are factors like contract obligations and the need to keep a minimum momentum, so, if rumours add to increased competition and together affect sales, then Nintendo could be forced to react. Pure and simple competition looked, up until now, not enough fiery to force Ninty to an immediate reaction.
