Iv'e been considering the same thing lately. The pricecut helped peek my interest, but i still feel that the system is just to expensive for the hardware that you get. There are some titles that i would love to play like the new Super Mario Brothers, Mario kart Wii etc, and Monster Hunter Tri looks good aswell. But then again i fear that besides some great Nintendo games, future motion control offerings for the PS3 and X360(wich i both already own), will make the Wii a bit obsolete.
To put it all together i just can't get myself to shell out 200 bucks for a system with just a few games i really like, and wich i fear won't stand the test of time. So all in all it depends on the number of games that you really want that are only on the Wii, if that number exceeds five and there are more games that he is looking forward to, he should get it.
p.s. The thing that really stops me from taking the dive and buy a Wii is alway's the lack for HD support. I know know that sounds a bit stupid but i do almost all of my gaming(except PC) on a HD projector(100+ inch screen), and i fear Wii games will just look horrible on that.
