Wii Price Dropping To $199

When Sony lowered the price of the PS3 Slim, some people suspected that other console makers would follow suit. Microsoft soon did for the 360, but with the Nintendo Wii so far ahead in the console war for install base, some thought the Wii's price might stay put.

But it's now official, the Wii is coming down in price, at least in the US. Announced on Nintendo's liveblog from the Tokyo Game Show today, the new $199 price goes into effect on Sunday September 27th.

No word has been given about the price scheme outside of the US, though they could hardly only offer US players the price break, so we expect to hear more about that soon.
