You should talk about Wii sales being slower than usual, not low. If Wii sales are low then XBox 360 sales are very low.

This. The PS3 price cut had a huge effect because the PS3 went from an unreasonable $400 to a solid $300. The wii has always been well priced.

Well maybe the speculation might be right, IMO since there are lots of people out there who owns wii and there are lots of competitors out there Its natural for a product to get slow on marketing, if the marketing is failing over this lets say years what should they do? of course maybe they resort to cut the price down just to make those people who are waiting for the opportunityfor the price cut off and im one of them im still waiting for the price cut off fingers crossed. :)

@cguyever.
The Wii sales had fallen long before PS3 slim rumours (realistic ones... not some random 2007 form post).

Wii sales fell from the unnatural high Mario Kart and Wii Fit had given... They were the last huge games until WSR. The Wii survived last Christmas and ~2-3 months of 2009 because of the previous pent up demand... In March/April when Wii sales fell it had been almost 1 year since MKWiiFit, with little to constitute as a mass market game because Animal Crossing and Wii Music didn't cut it.

Looking at the last few weeks sales i would say the Ps3 and Xbox360 price cuts have eaten into Wii sales a little. I believe some people have bought a PS3 or Xbox360 over the Wii. It has to do with the public's perceived value of aproduct. If the PS3 is seen as 50£/$ dearer than the Wii with all its features then i find it as no surprise that some people chose it over Wii. Marketing obviously plays a part too.

its because there hasn't been a huge system mover in a while, thats my guess
