Nintendo Wii Drops $50 to $199.99 Starting September 27th
As if it weren’t obvious, Nintendo is cutting the Wii’s cost to compete with recent price drops in the XBox 360 and Playstation 3, particularly the latter. At only $299, the PS3 is currently only $50 more than a Wii , and includes a Blu Ray player and games at HD quality. Nintendo’s move is just countering Sony’s attempt to narrow the gap.
Variety also reports that game publishers are hinting that Nintendo has an HD Wii set to drop in 2011, which should have Microsoft and Sony execs shivering in their boots, as Nintendo is whooping their asses even without high def gaming.
