So a $150 Wii goes up against a $199 Xbox 360 and a $299 PS3.

Should see a new Weekly leader for a short while. Short while being, until MS cut the 360's price at E3.

And in Japan it still costs 20000 Yen (247 freaking $!!) And that without a bundled game? Awesome strategy to please the Japanese fans, Nintendo. :/

Japan is where its needed the most, though.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Does anyone know if this is happening in mainland Europe too? Don't usually visit European gaming sites.

The price cut is also effective in Europe from 20th May in Europe at 150 euros I assume, they are saying the final price is decided by the stores.

That doesn't make sense - Nintendo was going on about revitalizing the Wii in Japan with monthly software, but has decided to hold back on a price cut? Anyway, I'm hoping the Wii will get a decent enough boost to have a respectable Q2 with the aid of the price cut.
