Never thought they'd do it...

They dropped the price of the Wii down to $199!
Is anyone else surprised by this?

 

[mitchman_93]

Not at all. I'm a supporter of Nintendo but not to a point where I would think they could survive without a price drop. That would be freaking insane.

 

[Shukaku]

Hmm...That's actually a good point, I never looked at it like that.

 

[(s.i.e)]

it's to keep the Wii more interesting for spenders then the newely released PS3 slim that had an interesting pricedrop, christmas (= $$$) will be there soon and nintendo is trying to make the chanses smaller that the mass will buy the PS3 slim instead of their Wii.

That too, seeing how the Slim made PS3 sales shoot up higher then before.

Not at all. If you payed attention to gaming news this has been all but confirmed for a month or so now.

a new form of the PS3 takes longer then a month to design, make, and distribute over the planet. christmas means alot of money for alot of people nintendo knew and planned ahead.

Amazon is totally not happy with the results.

Wii Play for $40 is huge. That's a Wii Remote with a free, marginal game packed in.
