Nintendo says there are “no plans to cut the price of Wii”

“We currently have no plans to cut the price of Wii. Current talk of price cuts is rumour and speculation. This is rumour and speculation as Nintendo have made no announcements on price. Furthermore this is most likely retailer led much in the same way retailers in the UK offer price promotions on our products.” – Nintendo spokesperson

This situation is a bit odd. I wasn’t entirely sure that the Wii would be getting a price cut when the Walmart ad was supposedly leaked. However, when we saw the Toys R Us image, it looked as though the system would almost certainly be reduced to $199.99. I’m still not entirely sure what to believe, but like I said yesterday, we’ll find out for sure soon enough.
