I can almost guarantee a price cut of say 25$ by the end of 2011. Nintendo will not cut the price if hardware manages to sell stronger then PS3/360 but it won't. I'd say also because Zelda is being released in early 2011 their won't be a price cut untill fall/winter 2011. Reason for the price cut will be obvious as hardware sales will be tracking way lower then previous years.
Unless Nintendo has an ace they haven't unvieled yet. However with Zelda launching in early 2011 and the 3DS. Not to mention the fact that Nintendo has milked Mario to much this generation and Donkey Kong, Kirby and all of Nintendo other major franchises released it leaves Nintendo little left to offer in late 2011.
Now a new StarFox, F-Zero or even the rumoured/talked about possibility of Ice Climbers may make a price cut less likely.
However I would say I am 80% positive their will be a price cut for the Wii next winter. Don't expect over 50$ though I bet Nintendo will only trim about 25$
