That's not the point ...

That plan is full of win. XD

hahaha what a load of wffl,

in other news, sony is cutting price to 50$ or $50 whatever way you put it

I could see it happening in some locations, but not in the US. I think there already have been some locations to adjust for currency changes.

that would be awesome:)

nope.

Only place where sales are lagging is Japan and all they need is some new games to push it back up.

However, if there happens to be a price cut then it will be more likely that you will see it in the form of bundled games.

What happens when DS or DSLite slows down in Japan? They get colors and newer upgraded models. Granted home and portable markets aren't the same, but, DS didn't get price cuts and I don't expect Wii to either.

Nintendo would rather keep the price and increase the value.

there wont be a price drop till Wii HD

@NinjaKido: It propably will. It's new experience in similar fashion with Wii Remote and Balance Board. The question is, that how long it will be able to sustain the demand. In Japan the problem seems to be that Wiis controls don't add much to their favourite genres, unlike it does in the west (not to mention DS being the main platform for JRPG:s), when Nintendo needs to push new kind of games to the market that take advantage of the controls.

@Zarx: There will be no WiiHD. Nintendo releases successor to Wii, not a hardware update.

the wii is 211$ in japan though.

@Jo21: Yeah, it doesn't come with Wii Sports.
