Looks like we might see another Wii price cut this year. It's starting to sell less each week compared to last year when it was still $250. And with Kinect and Move coming. Anyone agree?


I dont think we will see a price cut, but anythings possible.

I'll probably get flamed to death for saying this but.......we may be seeing the effect of Nintnedo relying on this new demographic. Industry loyalty, IE: "core" gamers will always be there however this new demographic that Nintendo has tapped may need to be fed stuff to keep them coming back. Im by no means saying its a fad, but theres a lot to be said for a dedicated userbase/demographic in this industry. This is why MSFT was able to come in and in 1.5 generations establish itself as a serious player, they tapped into that dedicated market of users who will be constantly interested in this industry, its a reliable base in the long run.

But Nintendo is arguably the most innovative company in this industry so it if anyone can come up with a way to get a fleeting demographic to turn their heads back to the Wii, its them.
