Wii at $150 (with a gift card) for three weeks at Walmart is among the reasons it did 3.81m by NPD last December. Alot of you guys give too much credit to NSMB Wii - it likely raised the Wii 500k at launch and the rest was from retailers and Wii priced down over Nov-Dec

I dont recall Wii at $150 for three weeks last year, I recall one week. If it did then that was in effect a temporary price reduction for nearly all of the holiday selling season and I agree 100% it wasnt NSMBWii.  Also Dont get me wrong I dont believe that NSMBWii raised the Wii much after the 1st couple of weeks.  It just added to the library that made consumers believe the console will be supported with good software.

The odd thing is, it seems like the deal was December 5-12, but VGC actually has the Wii dropping significantly that week.  I can't remember if they started the deal early, or maybe the weeks just got mixed up after some adjustment.
