WII PRICE DROP THIS MONTH?
With Microsoft and Sony both slashing prices on their respective consoles, it's no surprise that Nintendo appears to be following suit. Last month we explained why we think the Wii needs a price drop and it sounds like we weren't the only ones.

With Microsoft and Sony both slashing prices on their respective consoles, it's no surprise that Nintendo appears to be following suit. Last month we explained why we think the Wii needs a price drop and it sounds like we weren't the only ones.
 
Just today, a tipster sent Kotaku a blurry photo of a Toys R Us circular clearly indicating a $50 price drop for the Nintendo console, bringing it down to $200. Since the circular is dated for the last week in September, the new price could go into effect on September 27.
 
A $200 price tag would once again solidify the Wii as one of the two cheapest consoles available on the market today. As of now, the Xbox 360 Arcade remains as the least expensive home video game console on sale.
 
This all technically remains a rumor, but we've got a sneaking suspicion that this one is probably right on the money.

Nintendo currently said that they have no plans on making a price cut, so I have no reason to believe this. Toys R Us are just making guesses. Unlike most rumors, I'm not standing by this rumor. What we need is official confirmation from Nintendo. If the price drop is not happening this holiday, then Nintendo needs to do something else to help make the Wii worth $250. Like for example, give new customers a decent bundle. Admit it, Wii Sport alone won't cut it.
