Then again, 350k might represent weekly Wii sales with the bump from Brawl (which will probably be the best seller on the console). As it's been theorized, the bump from Brawl may not have been significant because it was a game a sizable portion of the Wii user base has been waiting for (about 1:3.3 will most likely end up buying this). As in, most already had a Wii, assuming they could find one to buy.

I can guarantee the number of people waiting to buy a Wii after a price reduction is minimal. By far outstripped by the number of people who still can't find one at retail price. As long as this situation remains, there will be no price drop. If people find one on shelves, and they had an interest in buying one, they have no problem paying $250 for one. The price is very accessible even though it's not the traditional "mass market" price below $200.
