The Ebay prices have been dropping steadily and right now a Wii just sold for $255. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Nintendo-Wii-Game-Console-GAMES-FAST-SHIPPING_W0QQitemZ110133265315QQihZ001QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem There was shipping and handleing so the buyer was willing to pay $287.49 which is still a bit more than the price of the Wii. However, I watched the eBay prices of the PS3 after it launched. After the initial insanity stopped they were selling at about $900. Once the price hit $600 then they started becoming findable in stores This hasn't exactly happened with the Wii, or it would be findable right now, but about 2 months ago people were willing to pay $350 for one. Demand is clearly falling closer to supply. The question is, will it continue to fall enough to prevent the Wii from being sold out?
Metroid Prime 3 is coming out August 20. I think it would be wise for them to finish Mario Galaxy in September or October. Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario and Sonic at the Olympics(which will be huge, mark my words) could help them near the holiday season.
