Wii Price Drop Coming Soon?

[admin]

Following price drops from Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo may be the next to decrease prices on it's console. According to leaked scanned images of a Toys-R-Us catalogue for this month, the Wii is getting a new $199 price, indicating a $50 price drop for the console which may lose it's hold on second place as the most widely purchased console in the US (behind Nintendo's own DS), if the stats are to be believed.

All of this is still just a rumour at the moment, of course, but like the PS3 Slim rumours and before that, the Xbox 360 price drop rumours, it's not out of the realm of possibility that a price cut will be coming this month.
