Well to tell you truth Nintendo did not HAVE to do this price cut. Is is true that sales for the wii were down by %50 but since there is the new wii fit coming up it would have gone okay. Nintendo did this mainly just to keep that $100 differance from the PS3 and 360.

I am not a fan of the Wii, but it doesn't not really need a price-cut. It has become to the top-selling console sinces its release without altering the price and that's quite impressive.

I recently bought a Ps3 just when they announced the price, so i got a Slim at a good price.

The Xbox 360, however, recently had a price raise on its arcade console and price cut on their Elite consoles and apparently they were suffering in sales before that and are now, so I don't see any point of them cutting their price. In my opinion, they should cut down on prices of their accessories.

This is nothing for me to worry about now anyway, as I already own a Xbox 360 and PS3, and if I ever wanted to buy a Nintendo Wii, I do not mind paying the current retail price it is set at now. I would not so much care if they cut the price, but it would be beneficial for us, the consumers and for Nintendo gaining a decent sales revenue on top of the mass amount of sales and profits they already have.
