I asked Pezus this but I actually wanna ask everyone who's saying pricecut 2013. When do yal expect the price cut to happen?

 

We just got a Nintendo Direct today. I'd think if they were gonna price cut this month, it'd have been announced in that ND. Since it wasn't, I think it safe to assume August is out of the question. Having a price cut during November n December just wouldn't make sense since the holidays will boost sales anyway. So that leaves us with October and September. Quite a narrow window and October is still pretty close to the holidays. Plus Nintendo's last price cut was announced in July and took effect in August.

I can't say I really care for Nintendo to drop the price (I more or less want a Bayonetta 2 bundle with a black or blue Wii U to go with it).  But I'll reckon if Nintendo does feel the need to drop the price (Which they really do need to do) then it'll happen after the holidays since when they'd cut the price there'd be black friday sales so it'll be pointless to do during/before.

Plus there's already so many retailer cuts going on, especially in Europe from what I've heard. I wonder if a $50 cut would even match what some are selling them for. All the more reason for them to wait so they'll be in a better position to do a $100 drop!
