You know, literally as soon as a console is released, rumours start circulating about price cuts for various reasons. This usually continues throughout the whole lifetime of the console and this generation is no different.

Cammie Dunaway has quashed more rumours that the company are preparing to lower the price of the Wii and even though they could do quite comfortably and still make a decent profit per console sold, there really is no need when you consider how well the Wii is still selling.

Also there are other options other than price cuts to boost sales such as introducing new colours and game bundles which we reckon Nintendo will do before they lower the price. If we had to guess we would say one of these options would happen in the next 12 months but you never know! Over to Cammie…

“Certainly on the Wii, we are now in the fifth year. We have had extraordinary success. The PS2 went on to sell more than 50 million. So that means there is plenty of opportunity to sell more Wiis.
