Nintendo Wii’s price dropped to $169.99 all over US

The rumoured Wii price cut might have been put in place a bit early, several retailer listings suggest.

Most major retailers, including Gamestop, Amazon, Bestbuy, ToysRus and Target have slashed the Wii’s price to $ 169.99, a $30 drop from its previous price of $199.99.

Engadget had reported that the Wii will be getting a price cut in May, down to $150.

Various reports also suggest that Nintendo’s set to announce Wii 2 at this year’s E3.

Hopefully Nintendo will make something official soon.

My guess would be one of the retailers enacted this smaller price drop to get the jump on sales before the $150 took effect, and all the others followed suit.
