and also when it will happen.

I say november 1 st and it will sell 551k just to beat the ps3

Won't do much like the PS3 price cut did.

i doubt it will as much an impact as the one of the PS3, but i think it would give it a consistent hardware boost, and about fucking time too

PS3 had much more than a price cut, thus the huge spike.

We may see another holiday of sell-outs, but it will be hard to tell if that's because of the price.

It won't have as large of a spike, but a better long term effect than PS3 slim.

Witnessing another sellout this year will be impossible to say the least. Wii's production rate exceeds the 2.4 million/month, and during the first 8 months of 2009 it sold 9.6 million out of the 19.2, in other words, exactly half of what has been made has been sold. There's already a 9.6 million surpluss for the Holidays, which will only grow until November.

So by November there could be about 11 - 12 million stockpiled Wii's + 4.8 from November and December's production. I don't think we will see 15 -16 million+ Wii's sold in between November and December. Even with a pricecut, it would be impossible. The Wii sold a little over 9 million units in Nov/Dec last year, selling 6 - 7 more million is completely out of the question IMO.

It would be fun to see though, wouldn't it? Ah, even a little?

I kind of hope it happens. I just like seeing big numbers, and those would be the biggest.

Would be fun and exceptional, but I don't think it has a chance of happening. Sales could be bigger, due to better supply, but I don't think big enough to warrant 1.5 million+ more than each week last year for the last 4 weeks of the year.

Well, if it's bigger than last year they'll break every record in the book - and still might miss their projections.

That is a bit hilarious, I suppose.
