TGS09: Wii dropping to $200 on Sunday

We've been hearing rumors for weeks, but Nintendo finally confirmed a $50 price drop starting this Sunday.

TGS09: Wii dropping to $200 on Sunday

Everything's still in the box. It just costs $50 less.

We've seen leaked circulars and heard rumblings, but today Nintendo made it official--the Nintendo Wii will be reduced in price from $250 to $200, starting Sunday, September 27. Here is part of Nintendo's statement.

"Beginning Sunday, Sept. 27, the world's most popular home video game system gets even more appealing. On that day, Nintendo's suggested retail price for its record-setting Wii drops by $50 to $199.99. The new $199.99 Wii price point delivers the full iconic Wii gaming experience, including the motion-sensing Wii Remote controller, Nunchuk controller and Wii Sports software, and furthers Nintendo's mission to expand the gaming universe by making video games accessible to more and more consumers."

At $200, the Wii is once again at the lowest price point for a new home console, though it's sharing the distinction with the Xbox 360 Arcade console bundle this time. For any folks who haven't taken the plunge and purchased the Wii, will this new lower price change your mind?
