Wii is not going to price drop....why would they? Their sales are still roughly double the competition. Also, if you think sales are bad for wii and they need a price drop then Sony and Microsoft would of been at 100 a console just to compete with nintendo, because their sales are an epic fail in terms of the Wii. This doesn't make any sense. Only place it would ever drop is Japan and thats not happening soon with their big software titles coming out.

WiiMotion+ is probably gonna be a big deal. Not sure if it will sell more consoles, but it will definitely push peripherals and software.

WSR already boosted hardware sales in Japan... let's see if it's a sustained boost.

I am sure that a sequel to Wii Sports would have made a big difference regardless of WM+.

Is this like Rol's thread, or was this actually an article?

Nintendo is still selling more than the other consoles, I don't understand this notion that THEY of all companies will be desparate fora price cut.
