Yeah, sounds like they're officially domed to me!  ::high five::

Absolutely sure, "under 199.99 euros". But as I wrote after I searched around, I guess Ninty is trying to get maximum benefits also by small unofficial discounts I found here and there (the biggest was less than 5 euros).

Sounds to me like somebody realized that their old campaign sucked and replaced with one that was more attention-grabbing. Perhaps they were just behind schedule editing the good ad in time for the cut, so they ran a placeholder.

I think it's too soon for anybody, including Nintendo, to judge how effective the Wii's price cut has been.

@Alby: But wasn't Italy one of Wiis weakest regions? If so, Nintendo might want to take the biggest possible advantage it can get with the pricecut.
Forza Playstation.

I don't really see Wii's price cut making a huge, huge difference like the PS3 price cut did. I mean it will definitely go up in sales, and stay ahead of 360, but I just feel the whole Wii craze has started to wear off. Most of that is probably due to the large amount of shovelware Nintendo has allowed onto their system. Back when the NES first released, Nintendo decreed companies could only release a certain amount of games per year on it. But now it just seems like everyday someone is shoving poorly made waggle fests on it, hoping part of it's large install base will make them some profit. I guess part of it also is the draw of motion control is wearing off alittle. Don't get me wrong, it is fun to act like your bowling instead of hitting buttons, but the overall appeal just wears off after awhile. I personally haven't played my Wii in months.

thismeintiel the quality control is what 3rd parties bitched about on n64 days. saying Nintendo was too tough so they released the crap on psone.

now they lifted this restriction, mad lame developers happy but made their gamers annoyed.

they can never win.

Rofl, you do realize that Wii, prior to the PS3 and 360 price cuts, was outselling both of its competitors week in and week out, and even after they price cut, was still around 190K, and has consistently dominated the software charts for the consoles.

That's not fading, yes PS3 had a few good weeks, lol, a price cut and a new SKU better give a boost to a system, otherwise you're in deep trouble, but will it sustain over the long haul, probably not, as they just don't have the software to drive sales like the Wii does.

The Wii price cut isn't the big news this winter for Wii sales, NSMB is, that will drive sales through the roof and sustain sales for months, even years, heck the DS version is still in the top 30 WW three years after its release .

Both the standard Wii console and the new bundle with Wii Sports Resort is outselling the Xbox 360 and the PS3 slim 120gb and 250gb on Amazon.co.uk. So I think the bundles and price cut is working. The Wii RRP is £199 and Amazon is selling it for £139 and the Wii Sports resort bundle is £179.

Please, please don't extrapolate Amazon sales to draw broad conlusions on how something is selling. Individual retail outlets have a bias based on what kind of clientele frequent that retailer. Amazon is biased towards highly informed computer nerds, and it really doesn't come anywhere near representative of the broader population.
