Sure Reggie that was said about the last machine. It wasn't suppose to have price drop. Let's face it what he really means is this. "There will be no price drop based on current economic forecast". IF that changes we will see another drop.

Yes Reggie seems like one ugly dude :\



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

OMG at that picture

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.

 

Plastic surgery couldn't hide him forever, I found him!!!

 

About price cut, not even the dumbest CEO would announce there will be other cuts immediately after one of them.

 

Edit: I don't want to know where the surgeon hid all the other eyes!!!   



Stwike him, Centuwion. Stwike him vewy wuffly! (Pontius Pilate, "Life of Brian")

Reggie is so damn awesome, I would take a bullet for him. (though they would probably bounce of his chest anyway).

They may or may not. I personally would think it's stupid to not drop it again before the release of their next console.. But on the other hand, I could see them at 200 until November 2011 which would continue the five year trend they have been having in the past.

At any rate, I love that pic of Reggie.



it's just PR. another price cut for next christmas if sales dry up

That's 2000-and-lame. But I suppose it's to be expected, he doesn't want people to hold out thinking it might get any cheaper.

So, nearly 3 years @ $250. Another 2 years @ $200 then down to $150 w/ next system. Makes sense to me.
