Technology blog Engaget is reporting that Wii may receive a $50 price cut on May 15. Their sources indicate that the Wii will retail for the new price of $150.
The rumor does not include any information about what might be bundled with the console. The current primary bundle includes both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort.
Nintendo has seen sales of the Wii slip in the last couple of years. Nintendo derives a significant portion of their profit from hardware sales, and the lower sales have been mentioned as of concern by analysts and Nintendo executives.
Anyone know what kind of policy Nintendo has of transferring Virtual Console games between systems if you're purchasing a 2nd console?

If you're really lucky, you *might* be able to talk them into letting you have the privilege of physically mailing them both systems (at your cost) and getting them to transfer the information for you.
I wonder how data tranfers will go when the Wii 2 is out. Will Nintendo still bother to assist you?
You can already find it for $179 at some places. I don't think this will make a huge difference in monthly sales without a big new game release, although Nintendo can always run ads for old games.Maybe they are finally bringing that Players Choice line-up to the U.S. along with that price drop to dru up some more sales for some over looked games.
All 3 systems need a price cut. They are all 4.5 or in the 360's case, 5.5 years old. No one wants to pay more than $150 for 5-year old tech, so all 3 should see a hefty price drop.
