They're still sold out worldwide, what exactly would they get by doing this?

At the rate it's selling, I wouldn't expect a price drop until mid-to-late '08 at the earliest. Actually, '09 may be more realistic.

You sell everything you can make, and people still clamor for more at the price you already have. Why on earth would they lower the price? So they could make less money on purpose? You won't see a price drop until sales slow down considerably.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if they raised the price, with the way they're selling.

I don't think they need to drop the price but I suppose it'll be to 200 $ when they do it.

Why would they drop the price? It's been sold out since last holiday season. Really wouldn't make sense.

Most retailers in Canada raised the price. In Canada, it was supposed to be 280$ now it's 290$.

They could lower it to $175 now if they wanted and could still make money. Don't expect a price drop until sales slow down. At least until they stop selling out.

Price drop when they start becoming easier to find. Like after Christmas.

Last I checked, the production cost of the Wii is just over 200USD.

It started of at around $180 I believe. It costs $250 so retailers can get some money of it.

Current price is fine. It would also not make any sense what so ever for them to drop the price. It's selling too quickly. If it was like the ps3 in sales then ok price drop i could see but at the rate it's going they won't be dropping the price.

If you were nintendo would you? You're already making a good amount of money on each console.. it's selling as fast as you can make it why would you then go hey we're making too much lets lower the price lol.

The price is fine at the leve its at. Dropping the price by $20 would be insulting, besides everyone is still buying them like crazy at the price its already at.

you people asking for price drops are retarded. Wii is the fastest selling console of all time and they cant keep them on the shelves for probably close to a year after it was released.. give me one good solid reason why Nintendo would want to drop the price.

And for god's sake, the next person to say Wii instead of We and think they're clever is getting a punch in the neck.

If you think about it, the game's not really free. Since in Japan, where Wii Sports is sold seperately, the Wii is actually cheaper.

Lower the price of something that's sold out? Where did you learn economics?
