With all these price drops happening, maybe you were hoping the Wii might get another one -- to $149.99, perhaps? Well, you can forget that idea. Nintendo Prez Reggie Fils-Aime told CNBC in a recent interview that we've already seen the end of the price cuts, and that if you want a Wii, you're going to be paying 200 bones for it. From the interview:

We lasted 34 months without having to cut the price. We were able to reach over 20 million consumers here in the US at USD 249. The next group of consumers we will get at this USD 199 price point, and we've already seen very strong results after just one week on the marketplace.

Fils-Aime also remarked that another price cut is "absolutely not" going to happen.

He also commented that there will be no shortage of the console this holiday season, saying "We're prepared. We have a tremendous amount of product in inventory, we've been flowing product in for retail. We do not expect to have shortages on our products. If we do experience them, I'd love to have that problem, but we're not seeing that this year."

That's great news, Reg. On the other hand, your face is still kind of scary.

That pic of reggie is more scary then your sig gifs... >_>

I'd have to agree.

Reggie's face fits almost all the screen ..... is that normal?

I think he could be right, if they don't count anything before the launch of their next platform.

Not the most flattering of pictures. Not surprising about the no more price cuts either.

the pic of reggie distracts from the thread

i wouldnt say never, im sure nintendo would do another cut if sales go down a lot

he sure has some healthy skin.

ot: well of course nobody is going to say another price cut is coming :p just bad business

This is why I turn sigs off
