I can only imagine the monster of sales Wii can achieve priced at $99 or $149.99. Nintendo was smart not to cut the price. The Wii still has enough milk left.

I laughed when everyone was saying "Wii needs a pricecut or it'll be in trouble this holiday!" not realizing that it was NSMB last year that truly boosted Wii sales and not the $50 price cut. All it needs is games, which it has now (Kirby, Goldeneye, Just Dance 2, Udraw Studio and its games, Wii Party, Michael Jackson, Sonic Colors, Donkey Kong Country, Epic Mickey, etc.)

They could probably even make it through next year without a pricecut, as long as they make good on their motion plus support and start making vitality sensor stuff as well.

I think we'll see the new price drop around the summer.

Yeah, summer sounds good. I bet the Wii'll slow down again during the Summer which makes a cut to $150 seem pretty good. Then Christmas'll come by again and $150 looks nice. They just need to continue getting out more games (Zelda, Xenoblade, The Last Story...)

I'm so psyched for all three of those. 

I feel like Xenoblade should at least have a US date by now.
