After Microsoft and Sony decided to slash the price of their video game consoles, Nintendo wanted in on the fun. Effective September 27, the Nintendo Wii will become $50 cheaper and will sell for $199.99.
So, where does this leave us? Xbox 360 = $299. PS3 Slim = $299. Wii = $199. Prices are dropping and games and content are getting better. This is a win-win situation for the consumers!
In related Nintendo news, the ever-popular sequel to Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, is packing a second WiiMotionPlus in its bundle. Starting October 12, Wii Sports Resort will include the game, two MotionPlus accessories, and will cost $60. Yes, that is $10 more than what it cost before, but now it has a second MotionPlus; don’t complain.
