The first official price cut for the Wii was on May 15th 2011.

They had it on sale before that, but that's the first time it's MSRP was changed from $199 on release to $149.

The Wii was launched at 250$, what you’re referring to is the second price cut that Zorg mentioned.

The wii was launched with two different skus, the most common one was $249, but they also sold one, at launch, for $199. So when they made their most expensive model $199, that wasn't a price drop, they just added value to the $199 launch price.

EDIT: I'm completely wrong. Zorg is right again. My bad.
