On the eve of the 2009 Christmas season, Nintendo lowered the price of the Nintendo Wii game console for the first time in three years (!). Starting next Sunday, September 27, its official recommended price is $ 199.99, which is fifty dollars cheaper than the previous one. Nintendo will make an official statement about this tomorrow, and up to this point has asked all journalists to remain silent. But sewed in a bag can not be hidden.
Although in Russian stores Wii sells more expensive than in foreign stores, but a decrease in prices of $ 50 should affect us. Contrary to popular rumors, the Wii equipment will not change with the price reduction: the same console, nunchuck and Wii Sports CD.
A little earlier, the price cuts were also announced by manufacturers of other consoles: the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 are now sold at the same price of $ 299.
