When the time is right, what do you think Nintendo will do? When Wii sales go down, if ever:

- Price cut

- Colored Wii’s (or a single colored Wii)

Seems kind of a hard question, if they reduce the price, they lose some money on each Wii sold, if they add colored Wii’s for the same price, they would still sell for the same price, but popularity on a single color will make other less-wanted Wii’s be left on shelves while the most popular ones get sold out (I’m thinking it would be the black Wii, which is the one I’m looking forward to... no I’m not getting it unless I sell my current one).

Anyways, I think they would firstly do a price drop, because they would lose more money if Wii’s get left on shelves at full price rather than no Wii’s left on shelves at a lower price. Then again, on the Wii’s case, price isn’t a consumer’s concerning factor since its pretty low at 250$.

Also, in the futue, I think they should look forward to offcially changing Wii cases so people can choose on variety of colors even if they have a white wii. This way people can change their Wii’s look without voiding the warranty.

Atleast release colored Wii-motes!

Colored Wii’s. when that slows down, release a price drop.

Also, how the hell would they lose money on Wii’s if there was a price-drop? The material costs for the package should be very low.
