If you go back to the source, it is a UK/EU Nintendo spokesperson saying no comment.

Also, CVG (the original source: http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=223308) could not get the price drop right, stating: The 'brochure', which advertises a drop down to $249 for the US Wii ...

It does speculate though that an official announcement would come at Kyoto CMEX on Sept. 26 -- which is one day before the Toys R Us brochure price goes into effect.

PS -- Does anyone have a link to the supposed Wal-Mart price reduction?

1. The Wal-mart price-reduction didn't have a linked image, at least not to my knowledge. That's why we were able to doubt it more consistently than the newer Toys R' Us one.

 

2. Yes, CMEX starts on the 26th, but Nintendo's venue at CMEX isn't until the 3rd of October, a week after this is supposed to go down.

 

I wonder if Nintendo is giving Toys R Us a one-week head start on the price drop.

Given some of the sales that Toys R Us has had (Buy 2 Get 1 games in November 2007; $25 card with purchase of SMG on release; etc.) this could be the case.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
