If they drop the price to 49.99 and push into emerging markets Look OUt!

This, they would sell like hotcakes.

Agreed, especially since Wii is so hackable and piracy is rampant in emerging markets.   I'd imagine a lot of stores would sell them pre-softmodded.

If that'd be profitable for Nintendo is another matter.  But I'm sure some people would buy the actual games, so I'd love to see it happen.

I'd pick up a second Wii (for the bedroom) at that price too.

Yep, one can argue that one of the reasons PS2 was so successful is due to similar circumstances. Still, it was very profitable for Sony. If Nintendo can make low priced version of Wii, even with all the hacking and pirating it would make them lot of money.
