I agree.  No price cut...  That said, there is nothing stoping Nintendo from reducing manufacturing costs and increasing production rates....  but it'snot that easy to switch...

Or even better, they could instruct people on how to build Wiis from Gamecubes and duct tape.

The soution is easy. Just tell everyone to stop buying them. ;)

walmart last year on the wii pages offered $250 gift cards..."due to demand why not give this and use this to purchase the wii after the holidays"

@lenardo, see walmart is #1 retailer for a reason. I bet they sold quite a few of those bad boys.

I have an idea, stop production of the GC and convert those plants to Wii production. OMG that would be brilliant.

@ssj12, Nintendo is putting out almost 2m per month. That is by far more than any other console manufacturer ever. I don't think the incredibly small amount of gc they are still producing will have any affect on the overall wii production.

I understand what you mean by presale vouchers, but I have to laugh at the thought of a kid opening up his Christmas present to find a letter from Santa, explaining he'll be back in March with the Wii when the elves finally meet demand.

Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like an IOU because you were too lazy to stand in line on a Sunday morning. 

@Dryden -- lol, I did think of that. I always wanted to see someone's face of mild happiness when they see they *almost* have the present they wanted.

@RolStoppable -- I am pretty sure they did not *stop* production. I think it is just really low. I could be wrong of course. But, how much remaining stock could there be? I haven't seen a original xbox on shelves in over 6 months. But, I still see 5-6 gc's on walmart's shelves as well as other stores.
