http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/04/hkhfkjhdkhfkdhafkhdasfjka.jpg (http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUST32666920080425?feedType=RSS&feedName=technologyNews)Looks like we'll be waiting a little while longer for any price cut on the Wii. As in, until 2009. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has revealed to analysts that no price cut is planned for either the Wii or DS this year, and while both consoles are selling out pretty much everywhere, we can't say we're bowled over by that decision.
As yesterday's financial report (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/24/nintendo-rolling-in-money-as-wii-nears-25-million-units/) demonstrated, Nintendo's practically bathing in money, and it expects to make plenty more over the coming twelve months -- $5.14 billion of it, to be precise. If you are still searching (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/16/pachter-wii-fit-to-raise-wii-demand-keep-shortages-going/) for a Wii, looks like you won't even have the consolation of paying a non-launch price!
