The Wii will sell with this price cut, but it's not as relevent as the PS2 was in its time. I see 100 million as a definite. The Wii will have another 2 plus million December with that price.

Definitely agree.  This price cut will definitely give the Wii a nice little boost in the next few weeks, and definitely the holidays, but it can't turn around it's falling sales.  Especially not without compelling new releases to help.  Makes me wonder when Sony and MS will announce their price cuts.  Before I would have guessed probably later this year, but now that Nintendo has moved now, it may come at E3.  So, this Wii cut boost will probably start to die out after Sony and MS have their own $50 cut.

I have said it over and over again, a $199 PS3 will have a huge effect no matter the price of the other console. But knowing Sony, it won't be until 2013.
