This doesn't make sense... 155.56 pounds is about 240 US dollars. So its STILL $40 higher than what we pay for the Wii in the US. Theoretically, it can drop more to meet the equivalent of the American price.

No. It is including taxes, unlike the US price. Removing taxes it works out to $203-$208 (I forget the exact VAT in the UK).

So basically it's the same price as the US.

 

Oh, rainBOWS, I like those.

So, the price drop now makes it roughly the same price that it's officially been sold at in the US for the past 6 months or so, I'm still failing to see the OMGWTFBBQ factor here

 

In the UK, £140 is very cheap for a games console - hopefully it will encourage more to buy it.
