Retailers Start Selling Wii for $169; Is An Official Price Drop Coming Soon? (Mashable)

Remember those recent reports that a Wii price drop is coming in May? Well, it may come even sooner, as all the major retailers have dropped the price of the Wii to $ 169.

Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, Target and Toys R Us now all list the new price for the standard Wii hardware bundle, which includes a Wii Remote Plus, a Nunchuk controller, Wii Sports and Wii Sports Plus.

The rumored price cut was $ 50. Nintendo still hasn’t made an official announcement about the price cut, but we doubt all the major retailers chose the same price by accident. It seems we’ll have to settle for paying only $ 30 less for the console that makes our bodies move.
