UK retailers already set to drop price of new slim Wii

I hope price drop for wii is in the states as well since most of people doesn't play gamecubes no more.

I find it humorous that 'suggested retail price' is being lowered long before the console hits the shelves. Seems to me to be a sad indicator of not only the state of the economy, but that corporate business' are commenting on other company's price points. I.e., retailers stating through price drops that they'll be damned if they get priced out of business.

Have we started to shift from a state of all-encompassing greed to survival mode here or is there an outbreak of common sense stating that people are tired of paying more for less?

Would be real nice if this phenomena crosses all forms of public sales.

speaking of no gamecube games, i wonder if wiiu still support gamecube games and controllers? would be smart if Nintendo sell the wiiu that support gamecube games/controllers and another wiiu that doesn't support it that is if the console itself cost 350.00
