I think it's reasonable to expect a price drop soon, considering the Wii is the only system that hasn't played the price drop card once yet, while its competitors have done so repeatedly. I don't think any other system has been able to hold the launch price for that long.

It will make an impact for me.
For less than 200 €, I will take it.
Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
Going by Pachter's track record this means that the Wii will have a price increase to $299.99 by November.

Nintendo knows exactly what happened; and that is it didn't produce momentum sustaining software last holiday season. As a result, Wii sales are way down year over year. Nintendo knows this and will be in a better situation because of it.
I'm willing to bet that, even at the same price point, Wii sales next year will eclipse Wii sales this year. Nintendo is not gonna gamble on games the likes of Wii Music or Animal Crossing again to maintain momentum.
Has a system been down signigificantly one year and then rebounded gracefully the next at the same price point? I don't know that it has ever happened, but it will.
I really don't see a reason as to why they would drop the price... although I would like a 149$ Wii...

That makes no sense whatsoever, software sells systems not price
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

No, price and brand strength sell systems. Even systems with relatively lackluster games.
