If microsoft gets agresive with Natal pricing then yes.

Although I'm quite sure Nintendo won't cut price if just XB360 and PS3 sales get better, but only if Wii sales worsen at the same time.

Yes but $200 arcade with bundled Natal and strong advertising campaign before Christmas would hurt Wii sales.

you're kidding right? you listed about 15+ games that you want to play on the Wii. That means you plan on spending at least 750$ including the console... and what is stopping you is 50$.... that is like less than 3$ per game you're going to play...

As a rule i say don't buy a console unless you have 3 games you want... more if the console is over 200... but there, the console could be 400 that it would be well worth it...

Get one used, it should be cheaper

A lot of people have said X factor would reduce Wii sales. As far as im aware, none have been proved right.

Probably not, but anyway Microsoft would be stupid to sell a console + Natal at that price, assuming the production costs are high for a periphal (probably over 50$) they would loose money for every platform sold...if we're really near next gen they should try to profit more now that they're sure to be competitive (up YoY actually) than trying to not loose 1-2% marketshare and instead loose millions...

As many said Nintendo will cut the price of Wii just if the sales become too little, like last summer (180k WW)...we'll see, I didn't expected the drop of this week, next weeks should show if Wii is going to reamin up ora lfat YoY even with big hitters, which actually are SMG2 in the west and Xenoblade in Japan (hopefully). Also Other M could move some hardware but not that much.

Not likely at the moment. But, if you want that many games I do not see how it is not worth the current price.

They are re-releasing the Wii next month bundled with Wii Sports Resort and it'll come in black or white. And it's $199.

I think you'll see a price cut within a year, so before the start of Q2 2011. I'm waiting for the same thing but the thing I want the most from Nintendo is for the price of games and gear to go down. A lot. Paying full price for a game two years after release and buying controllers that cost half as much as the console itself it unacceptable to me (Wiimote, Nunchuck and Motion + totals slightly more than half the price of the console, and that's only counting one controller).
