Completely random question that may not be easy to research but is there a record for home consoles before a price cut?

The Wii has been supply constrained for over a year and even when they hit supply=demand a price drop still seems far into the future as it is completely unnecessary.

 I don't know I think the NES, but that was because they kept releasing new bundles at 199
