Don't systems with looming price cuts usually have terrible numbers on the eve of said price cut?


if the price-cut is known about in advance .. yes.   wii should have a good bounce in next weeks numbers but it won't stop anyone from doming the wii this week. 

More than Wii it is Nintendo being doomed, with three consoles selling average. But no one is counting that actually the only manifacturer capable of selling 3 consoles simoltanously was Sony and that DS&3DS numbers look way better than we think. Wii is selling badly, but the price cut should push it to over 100k weekly for the year. Japan should show how a new wave of games for 3DS will impact its sales.

Why people think price cut will help Wii sales? It isn't a matter of price anymore. The novelty is really over. And with the announcment of Project Cafe Wii will be surely dead.

Because every price cut helped the sales of a console just like every successor announcement damaged it? Sure, Wii 2 should be taken into consideration, but I doubt the people interested in Wii 2 are the same interested in Wii, even more than the DS/3DS difference.
