It's "supposedly" confirmed, but I want officials words from Nintendo. We all know how much Nintendo likes to keep secrets, not to mention they do it well.

About time if you ask me...and let's hope it's true! PS3 and the 360 are far superior to this little while console, and I think it should have started off at $199...but it sold at $250 so it's all good in the end.

Is there anything else to say?

Dude, that's only one source.

Well yeah, I'm just showing how fast the news spread!

OK, it just looks misleading, LOL.

If it's anything like what happened to the Web Browser, we should get $50 if we have a Wii already

I guess the PS3 Slim has them worried. Now all we need is Sony to drop their price a little more and we could all be picking up Wiis for around $100 bucks. (Yes I know the latter is highly unlikely.)

Don't most of us already have Wiis?

Nintendo isn't going to confirm anything until the last minute. If they announced a price drop a week from now, who would buy a Wii for the next week? Same logic applies when all the rumors started flying around with Nintendo was denying it.

A $250 wii is a good deal, a $200 wii is abetter deal - you can get another game for the original price then.

Just look at software sales - wii sells more than twice as much software as ps3 in a given month and Nintendo sells 10x+ as much a SCEA as far as first party goes.

So I would not read too much into a short term spike in PS3 sales -good for Sony - they have far fewer active game buyers than does Nintendo, and even less than MS, who also trails Nintendo.

But remember, there are a lot of people who won't look on these sort of sites, so the Wii will still sell.

No Rezon is right - PS3 slaes completely flatlined prior to the cut. Not that they had far to fall, but they bottomed out before surginf.

This date would be great because I was going to buy another one for Christmas!

Actually the former is even less likely. Sony has lost too much from the PS3 already.

I think the Wii price dropped because it's already been out for three years.

I agree with lz2009, I think the only reason to drop the price is because after 3 years the components are probably cheaper. Meaning they didn't drop the price when Sony dropped the price for the first time. I have a ps3 and I'm really happy with it but there not really interesting (for me) JRPGs yet. Thanks for the DS the JRPG has a new golden age on the little one from Nintendo! And next year Golden Sun!

Well that thing about Sony losing money, I'm sorry but I'm not buying it.

If anything, they lost a lot of consumers because of the PS3. So in a sense, they are losing money because of lower profits

It's always relative. Sony is not just ps3, is ps2 and psp.
