Wii Price Cut Confirmed?

The price cut has little to do with competition. It has to do with Nintendo upping the production of the Wii and now it has to continue to sell numbers close to those that in order to fulfill contract obligations to suppliers and contracted deals with unions (if Unions work similar to the U.S. in this way, I don't really know)...

These aren't exact factors, but Nintendo had to arrange for supplies, shipping, and labor for all those Wii consoles they were selling. The cost of paying the minimums v. lowering the price to up sales a little and meet the minimums, probably has more to do with it.

This is a smart post, why haven't I friended you yet
