When do you think wii will see a price cut?

If xbox was to go below them would they cut it then?

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

When demand slows too much.



What if xbox goes below them before that happens?

They wouldn't cut it if 360 goes below them. 360 wouldn't cut into their sales at all.



I suspect the Wii will get a price reduction sometime between March 31st 2008 and September 31st 2008, after Nintendo has increased production to 2.5 Million systems per month and the XBox 360 (and PS3) begins to approach their price point with a system people want to buy.

Q4 at the earliest.

i think maybe september (TGS). that's nintendo's big event every year. if not a price cut (to like $200), i think a bundle would be nice (maybe wii sports + mario kart for $250).



It wouldn't make much financial sense to cut the price while demand is still outpacing the supply. It will probably be around the holiday time that they two will equal out.. but there's no telling when a price cut could be.



I'd guess closer to the latter half of this year. August through November of 2008.

It won't boost sales long term (short term it could if its accompanied by increased supply), just sustain current levels.
