Nintendo finally confirms Wii price cut?

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 20 Sep 2009 23:02 User comments (2)

Earlier this week, a leaked Toys R Us catalog showed an upcoming $50 USD Wii price cut, and just yesterday, a leaked newspaper circular showed a Best Buy ad with the same price cut and a September 27th date.

Today, Kotaku is reporting that Nintendo is finally officially confirming the price drop, saying so during a retailer conference call.

The "official" date is infact the 27th and Nintendojo says they had someone listening to the call, despite Nintendo not going public with the information just yet.

We shall see this week.

I find it funny that in 360 and PS3 price drop articles there is tons of talk and debate. But in Wii ones nobody cares. I personally wouldn't pay anything over $99 for this system.

I am thinking the same, but maybe it's because everyone has a Wii. Well except for me and you jookycola lol.
