A lot of things are pointing towards one and this so called leaked snapshot of a Toys 'R' Us flyer seems back up the rumor even more. For awhile now the Wii sales have been declining and since the PS3 and 360 price cuts both systems have been on the rise even more. It looks like it is Nintendo's turn for their first Wii price drop since the launch of the console.

Rumor: Wii Price Cut?!

The sales are probably declining because everyone already has one already. Al though, for only $200 I'd be an idiot not to buy a second one.

Yup, expected. Although, it does say something about the financial state of Nintendo. They are the last major gaming company to make a price cut on their current-gen consoles.

Uh oh.

Looks like Nintendo seems threatened by their competitor's price drops.

Those fuckers will probably sell 50 million when they start selling different coloured Wiis. IT HAS NEW HAT.

The Wii seems to be able to play Gamecube games, but they don't seem to be it's forte.

And yet, Nintendo will still be the only company making money from each unit sold. :3

Looks like Sony confirmed the Wii price drop. Yeah, I said Sony. While putting a comparison chart up between the 3 consoles people noticed the Wii priced at $199. Still waiting for a confirmation from Nintendo though.

Nice find, but what is that place in the picture?

I like how they think the Wii's "limited" online is any different from theirs.

You're absolutely hysterical if you think the Wii offers the same online experience as PSN.

The picture comes from a Best Buy event in Missouri by the way.

Southern people don't know anything about anything so Wii online is probably better than PSN. You're clearly wrong.

At this point a price drop seems like it would be essential in order to keep sales up. $50 seems like too little though, they should have dropped the price by $100 like Microsoft and Sony did. Looking at it now, the Wii is starting to become pretty pricy considering how weak the hardware is compared to the PS3 and 360.
