cashandra Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 http://wii.ign.com/articles/102/1024468p1.html A leaked Toys R Us ad obtained by Kotaku shows Nintendo is taking $50 off the current Wii console price point, bringing the system down to $199. The ad is expected to hit at the end of September. Nintendo wouldn't confirm the validity of this ad to IGN, saying the company doesn't comment on rumor or speculation. Calls made to Toys R Us have yet to be returned. If this ad is legit, this would go against Nintendo's recent comments from president Satoru Iwata made last month, saying "at present we're not thinking of doing anything with the price." Of course, Iwata's comments were made before Microsoft and Sony made price cuts to their own respective consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommysmom Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 That would be awesome, we want to purchase as our family gift this Christmas. Does that mean that Walmart and Target would price match it? http://wii.ign.com/articles/102/1024468p1.html A leaked Toys R Us ad obtained by Kotaku shows Nintendo is taking $50 off the current Wii console price point, bringing the system down to $199.

Rockfordmom Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 If they dropped the price all stores would sell it for $50 less. It's unlikely that only TRU would sell it for $50 less than anywhere else, they all would sell it for the lower price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaInNC Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 especially since Nintendo is one of those companies that do not allow to discount their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberrn Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 We are thinking about getting one for Christmas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daysangel Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I would love to get one! Thanks for the heads up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpr Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 We got ours the first day it came out a few years ago; we love it. This would be a great deal if it comes to pass. Don't be surprised if they do the same trick that they have done in the past and only include one controller:eyepoppin. Look at Nintendo's track record and you will see that that is how they operate:yup:. By the time you buy the second controller, the price really only drops about $20 to $30 dollars:shock:.

bpr Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Ummmmm.....it does only come with one wii-mote & one nunchuck.....since the very first day it came out.Sorry about that. I don't get to play it much with my family since I'm deployed a lot. But we do have four controllers, so I couldn't remember exactly what came with it. Well if the price reduction is true, then it will be a great deal;). 'Don't be surprised if they do the same trick that they have done in the past and only include one controller.' See they got us when they first released it, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfordmom Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Don't all the video game consoles come with only one controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyreejames Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Don't all the video game consoles come with only one controller? Yes. that is not a nintendo thing; they all do that. At least Nintendo bundles wiimotes with certain games; we got the Wii Play the same time we purchased our Wii. And we recently got Wii Sports Resort and that came with one of the motion sensors.

setlok73 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think I'll put one one layaway at Kmart then when the price drops, I'll have it adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momlori Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 The layaway is the best idea. If I need/wanted one that is what I would do. Guarantee you have one and let the price work itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elite2058 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I would definitely be there if they dropped it down that far. That's a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scanner420 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Are they dropping the prices on accessories as well or just the gaming system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
