Wii Price Cut Confirmed
Joshua Johnston 9/18/2009, 5:07pm Eastern Time

Following several days of scanned images indicating a Wii price cut, Nintendojo can now confirm that such a cut is indeed coming. Wii will be reduced to $199, effective Sunday, September 27th, and will likely include retailers nationwide. The confirmation was made during a retailer conference call today where a Nintendojo staffer was in attendance.

im only glad that they gave Sony 1 month...in october everybody only will talk about the Wii Price Drop not about the Slim!But in December PS3 will outsell the Wii definatly!

As long as it doesn't stop the bundles from coming, I think it's a good thing to do.

Well that's that.

I wonder what sales will be for NPD. Can the Wii pull ahead the PS3 with just 3 days? I doubt it but sales should be huge.

@TT

Japan absolutely, WW no though.

Even Japan depends on when they launch NSMB Wii in Japan, if its December than Wii wins easily

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Now the only question I have is whether this is a permanent cut or a movie to sell their current stock, because the Italian gamestop ad says its limited to 5,000
