Does Nintendo think Wii's cut isn't giving the desired result?

I don't really see Wii's price cut making a huge, huge difference like the PS3 price cut did. I mean it will definitely go up in sales, and stay ahead of 360, but I just feel the whole Wii craze has started to wear off. Most of that is probably due to the large amount of shovelware Nintendo has allowed onto their system. Back when the NES first released, Nintendo decreed companies could only release a certain amount of games per year on it. But now it just seems like everyday someone is shoving poorly made waggle fests on it, hoping part of it's large install base will make them some profit. I guess part of it also is the draw of motion control is wearing off alittle. Don't get me wrong, it is fun to act like your bowling instead of hitting buttons, but the overall appeal just wears off after awhile. I personally haven't played my Wii in months.

Rofl, you do realize that Wii, prior to the PS3 and 360 price cuts, was outselling both of its competitors week in and week out, and even after they price cut, was still around 190K, and has consistently dominated the software charts for the consoles.

That's not fading, yes PS3 had a few good weeks, lol, a price cut and a new SKU better give a boost to a system, otherwise you're in deep trouble, but will it sustain over the long haul, probably not, as they just don't have the software to drive sales like the Wii does.

The Wii price cut isn't the big news this winter for Wii sales, NSMB is, that will drive sales through the roof and sustain sales for months, even years, heck the DS version is still in the top 30 WW three years after its release .
