The continual price cuts by its competitors brought their units down to a point where there was perceived value on the part of many consumers in the $50 differential between the Wii and the PS3 and Xbox 360 models with hard drives.
By increasing that differential to $100 with the price drop, Nintendo positioned itself for the holiday season when it will have several new games of interest released and a substantially lower price point. (Wii + Wii Fit Plus = PS3 or Xbox 360; Wii + Wii Sports Resort + NSMBWii = PS3 or Xbox 360).
Sometimes you cannot see the result of an action because it is not seen -- instead what needs to be considered is what would the situation be without that action.

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
