Wii to go below $200?
Whenever we talk about Wii’s price, there’s this lingering quote by one of our staff. It goes “between 7-11‘s brainfreeze food promo and Nintendo’s own camp promo, we think we’ll side with the makers of Wii.” In case you aren’t in the know about that, Camp Hyrule is a week long online summer camp where gamers get the chance to be immersed in the world of Nintendo. It was also the source of the rumor that Ninty’s next-gen console will go below its expected price of $250.
We may have reasons to believe that rumor.
According to Nintendo Inside of Japan, a cheaper Wii may be possible with the Nintendo stocks hitting a new high on The Nikkei due to a cheaper procurement of CPU‘s because of larger orders. The reported price tag? 19,800 Japanese Yen (roughly $171) from the 25,000 Japanese Yen price.
If there’s one thing you don’t joke about in Japan, it’s the Nikkei and Prime Minster Koizumi’s love for Elvis.
So if we have to choose between the 7-11’s promo between the Camp Hyrule and Nikkei developments, then we think it’s wiser to bet your money on the Hyrule and Nikkei speculations. But then again, you may think otherwise. Still, feel free to share your thoughts and opinions through your comments.
