Forums - Nintendo - Italian GameStop cutting Wii price to €199

even if it's not a price cut, they aren't gonna jack up the price to $250 again that would be stupid. they're gonna make any differences in the console's hardware, it's probably just a new bundle or change in the look of the console somehow or both i suppose.

If its just a stock clearance, then yes they will put the pirce of the replacement bundle at $250, it wouldn't be stupid, see all they would need to do is justify the price being at $250, an NSMB Wii bundle would do that

Sad. You know what there is written ?

Here you are:

"Nintendo managed, back in 1983, to bring into the household the first succesful console: the Nes!

And now Nintendo with the Wii managed to have everyone playing, from the younger kids to girls to old people! But that's not all!

Nintendo brought a Wii in every home! What?! You still haven't a Wii in your home? You want one but you don't feel like waiting for Santa?

Very well, GameStop will take care of it with a unique offer!!!

Print this mail, bring it to a GameStop sales point and buy it for a never seen before price: €199.00 !

Do it now, only 5000 pieces available! It's a limited quantity sale !

Now you'll have no more excuses to say no to your girlfriend or children! Your Wii is waiting for you at GameStop!"

The bold - and atrocious punctuation - is not mine :)

Anyway, it sounds more like a clearance sale to make space for a new bundling by christmas time than an official price cut.

 

eheh Sei italiano ? la mia era una domanda verso gli altri.  E' una pubblicità idiota e l'ultima frase è parecchio triste.

Veramente, pensavo una grossa catena di negozi s'impegnasse un po' di più.

For not Italian speakers: really bad ad, a big chain of stores should apply itself a little more on advertising, but it looks authentic, just a limited offer, though. I didn't see evident mistakes, even less those typical of automatic translation.

But this bundle will come before NSMBW comes out, so it might be bundles for Resort and/or Fit Plus afterwards. I'm leaning towards Resort so that Motion+ comes in the box.

No, resort and fit would make more profit separately than bundled at $250

Tranqi, che sono abbastanza vecchio per ricordarmi, Gig, Giochi Preziosi, Clementoni e quant'altro 

Solo che GameStop non è una catena italiana, non mi aspettavo che permettessero agli affiliati locali di fare il peggio del peggio :-S

Bound to be a Resort bundle. That makes the most sense.

Hm... I actually think NSMBW will outsell Resort by a gazillion.  I think Nintendo wants to put Motion+ in the box to beat Sony and MS to the motion control punch.  Even though they already did.  Resort is the only game that's already out, so that is my prediction!
