U.S. 150k decent numbers again at last.

Other 120k Incentive instead of price cut will have less effect.

Japan 43k Won't make a huge difference but decent enough numbers.

I think the Wii can maintain those levels after the price cut and hlidays though.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

I don't think there has been any official statement yet concerning Europe. But considering the UK is getting a bundle I expect the same to happen for the rest of Europe.

Nintendo did a much better job than Sony at hiding the incoming cut so sales didn't slow down these lasts months because people were expected a cut (if they slowed down the reasons were others).
As a result I don't think they will jump as much...

Furthermore, even though the price cuts are proportionately similar, $100 is more dramatic in absolute terms, and a console redesign is way more exciting than just knocking some dollars off.

Then there's Sony's new ad campaign, much better than previous campaigns. Will Nintendo even bother to have one, or just let retailer flyers do their work for them?

Nintendo might see a better sustained boost than the PS3, just because $200 is a more impulse-friendly price, but their price cut just doesn't have the splash that Sony's had.

Edit: Oh, and the price cut has been confirmed for all of Europe:

I think that anyone that pays 199 GBP for a Wii needs their head examined.

At current exchange rates that is more than DOUBLE what it will cost in Japan at 20,000 JPY.
