If the other two toys combined (like transformers!) can't reach Wii sales then they should raise the price! Give Wii another handicap, its' kicking the other toys asses too much :(

probably because the arcade version of the 360 can hardly be called a gaming console anymore.

I agree the Wii doesn't need a price cut. It's still selling like hot cakes. I sold my Wii used for $300 that tells you something right there. I don't see 360s and PS3s selling used for more then the price of a new unit.

PARDON ? how did you do that ? it was with games right? or do you want to say you sold the pure console for 300 ? i cant believe that! please explain me.

well yeah why would they when their toy is still selling this well?

Once the game drought of 2009 hits the Wii sales will drop and they will have to think about a price drop. Of course thats only my prediction, but come on what exclusives does the wii have in 2009?

- Wii sports resort
- No more heroes 2
- The conduit
-

Thats about all i could find on IGN

*Decides not to remind you about Nintendo's strategy of not announcing games 'til they're almost done.

That said:

-Little King's Story

-Brave: A Warrior's Tale

-House of the Dead: Overkill

-MadWorld

-Punch Out

-Rune Factory: Frontier

-Tenchu 4: Art of the Ninja

-Sonic and the Black Knight

-Cursed Mountain

-The Destiny of Zorro

-Factor 5 Wii game

-Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers

-Overlord: Dark Legend (yes, before you ask, this is a completely different game from Overlord 2)

-Sin and Punishment 2

-Spyborgs

Exactly how hard did you look on IGN?

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

@Coolestguyever Here is the list I came up with.

Confirmed

-Little King's Story(Sim/RTS)

-The Conduit(FPS)

-House of Dead: Overkill(On-rail shooter)

-Sin & Punishment 2(On-rail shooter)

-Madworld(third person action)

-Fragile(Might be japan only nothing confirmed of western release yet)(Jrpg)

-Arc Rise Fantasia(same as above, but western release was confirmed just not the date)(Jrpg)

-Rune Factory Fronteir(Jrpg/Sim)

-Muramasa:Demon Blade( 2d Hack'n'Slash/Jrpg)

-Dynamic Slash(Jrpg)

-Sonic and the Black Knight(Platformer)

-Spyborgs(Platformer)

-Cosmic Walker(? Anybody help me with this one?)

-Punch Out (sports)

-Endless Ocean 2(sim)

Most Likely

-Monster Hunter 3(In japan at least)

-Fatal Frame IV(Survival Horror)(Nothing confirmed of a western release, but I beleive it is still possible, it was already released in Japan)

-Overlord:Dark Legend(Action game)

-Skycrawlers(Flight)(same as Fatal Frame IV)

-Kizuna/Golden Bonds(Jrpg)

-Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers

-Valhalla Knights Elder Saga(Jrpg)

-Klonoa Door to Phantomille(platformer)

-Kore(Platformer)

-Next Pikmin announced but not shown(RTS)

- Cursed Mountain

- Next Zelda(They already said they are working on it)(Action Adventure) There is a good chance it will release in 09.

There is a much bigger drought the second half of this year, and the Wii's sales aren't slowing down. Also note all of the games I mentioned are the ones that appeal to the usual "Core" audience. There are tons of other games that I may not consider good, but could still sell the system.
