The writers over at Kotaku recently posted a juicy morsel that could potentially heat up the console war: according to some “advance retail listings,” apparently Nintendo is readying a price drop on the Wii during the first week of October, just a few weeks from now.
The price drop would make sense, given the season, how long the Wii has been out, the recent drop in competitor’s prices, and the simple fact that Wii sales right now are down almost 50% compared tot he same quarter last year.
No more information is available for the moment, but we should know more soon enough. This does beg the age-old question I always wind up asking myself when Nintendo does something like this: “Who doesn’t own a Wii yet that wants to own one?” I guess we’ll find out soon enough!

Totally dude, I agree with your last statement. Who’s left that wants a Wii? And even those of us that have one, can they please concentrate on better games.
