Forums - Nintendo - (Rumor) Nintendo Wii new price $150

May 15th, new price at $150 Would you buy it at that price???

Nintendo's miniature white monolith has sold like gangbusters for long enough that we're wary it'll ever get cheap, but a trusted source tells us a price cut is indeed headed our way -- and that the Nintendo Wii will cost just $150 starting May 15th. The timing would make some sense, given how Nintendo's profits have tanked for a while due to flagging hardware sales, and just last month Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime hinted that the Wii's price might be a potential variable to change that in an interview with Gamasutra. Still, we're not fully convinced that Nintendo would announce a price cut then, rather than, say, at the Electronics Entertainment Expo in June, and it's not like the company to let this sort of announcement leak out, but if you find a shiny new copy of Mario Kart Wii in a $150 console bundle this time next month, don't say we didn't warn you.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

I wonder if they are cutting the price to try to compete with babysitters.....

And there will less software on Wii 2 than Wii.

It'll be like the PS3 launch only worse.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Someone piss in your Wheaties recently?



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

So Nintendo rather sell units by cutting price than putting compelling software.

I feel as though Nintendo is setting up for an abrupt descent.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Nintendo, I suppose.  They forgot how to sell a console/handheld and they're basically denying me my favorite fixes.
