Yeah, once the full $50 cut happens, I think it should increase for at least a few weeks to a month by 50-60K WW. It'll probably need some software to help cushion the cut wear off point, however.

Yep, but by that point we'll hopefully have either Zelda, Xenoblade or some other game. And Pandora's Tower is launching in Japan soon, that'll hopefully soften the decrease over there as well. I don't think we'll see a sub-10k week over there (after this next one) for some time, and I expect the next week to be the only one to be below 100k. 

I wonder what kind of effect Cafe may have (if there's any notable one at all).

I think it's too early to worry about Cafe. It's still at least 15 months away, and there's plenty of Wii titles on the horizon to look forward to (and likely more from E3). The price cut will help the Wii, as will its holiday sales. Nintendo shouldn't be worried. Well, maybe just a tiny little bit...
