When the Wii first came out in November of 2006 it was retailing for about $250.00 USD. That console sold millions for two years at that price before Nintendo cut the price down to around $199 USD in 2009. Now there is speculation that the Wii’s price will drop again to about $150 on May 15th according to industry analyst Michael Pachter. Though there has not been an official comment from Nintendo, our valuable sources say that the probability of this occurring is very likely.
We also think that it would be a good move for the Japanese gaming giant to drop the price because with the current event of the Xbox 360 outselling the Wii by millions, it's an amazing way to spark consumer interest. Personally, I currently use the Wii for their copious amount of work out regimes but I'm sure that there has to be thousands of people out there looking to pick up the console for a decreased price.
We probably won’t be getting an official comment until the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo on June 7th-9th because that seems like it would be the perfect time for Nintendo to come out with such a large statement. So with the May 15th prediction hanging in the air, who knows? Could be then, could be later...we’ll just have to wait and see.
