Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Will Nintendo cut the price of the Wii this holiday season?

Although the Wii is still kicking PS360 ass, sales are at a level now where the could be described as "less amazing".  Is the Wii losing enough steam that Nintendo looks at a price cut going into the holidays?  If Sony does cut to $299 and MS makes a pricing move as well, the Wii, IMHO, will be forced to make a move...

How big was the first Gamecube drop in terms of U.S. $?



I hate trolls.

Depends on how well WM+ and WSR do.

If they dont do THAT good, then expect a pricecut.



                            

Just introduce a black wii and sales shoot through the roof again.

In Japan, yes.

In US/Europe, not if they keep outselling the PS3/360 combined.

I thought it was gonna be twesterm

 



Well a $279.99 Wii (Canadian price) still manages to greatly outsell a $199.99 Xbox 360 Arcade, so unless the roles become reversed or PS3 starts outselling the Wii, then I don't see the Wii's price being cut anytime soon.



" Rebellion Against Tyrants Is Obedience To God"

I don't think there will be any price cuts this year. Wii is selling great, 360 is in a good place, and Sony can't afford to do anything.



Why the hell should they?
