@wii station those are some good predictions but i think wii will get atleast 1 price drop

 

I doubt it. But if it does, it'll be near Xmas '08.

why do you doubt it dont you think ninty will want to reach mass market price first

 

They already have. All the PC (price cut) would do is make them gain less money. They really don't need a PC now.

A number of things will happen first before a price cut for the wii.  First is catching up with demand.  That won't be achieved until after SSBB impact calms down.  Then letting production exceed demand to build up inventory for Xmas 08.  During that time, new colors are released.  I would imagine that any price cut would start in Japan, and be for a bundle, such as Wii + WiiFit.  If inventory builds up quicker than expected, the price cut could spread to rest of the world.

Naturally, Sony or MS price cuts to at or below Nintendo's would have a bit of an impact.  But I don't see that happening.
