They don't need a price cut. That simple.

Duct tape prices must have went up.

I better invest my $80 in Nintendo stock....

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Uhhh duh...its not like its the ps3 or sony we're talking about here...with their overpriced pos and bad reputation....

Wheres the real news and/or juicy rumors...?

they should raise the price

My mind is still with the Phattie...the Electric Blue one.

:After price cut:

It prints less money? : (

The pricing is perfect where it is. Theres no need to change it.

Not that anyone was expecting it, but I would've been all over a DS Lite price cut. I'm still wielding my bulky grey launch DS because I can't justify buying a new one when that money could be better spent on 3 new DS games.

Screw price cuts... Just release a DS 2.0 (or whatever fanciful name Nintnedo dreams up). I want to spend my hard earned money on a new DS ASAP...preferably with a bigger screen, HDD, built-in Opera mobile browser, and hey, why not some of the gyro parts from the Wii ;)

How about a price cut on The Orange Box? It was released in October, the games are on sale separately, and I...wait for it...finally played through Half-life 1 for the FIRST TIME this week. I'll buy it when it's no longer $50.

I don't think they will drop the price, but even if they are planning on doing so they wouldn't tell anyone ahead of time anyway.

We dont need a price dump on the wii... maybe on the DS... what the wii needs to do is BECOME AVAILABLE!!!

Jesus F'in Christ... I want my Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

What we need is less rated M games on the Wii

OH MY GOD!!!
17 WII GAMES WITH M-RATINGS!!!
SAVE THE CHILDREN!!!

(Ooh! My 101st comment on Joystiq! :D)

They might not need a price cut,considering the profit per sale is a big part of their overal profit they shouldnt ,yet i wouldnt be suprised if they suddenly got "new plants"
Yeah im still wondering why they didnt release em in other colours,black would have been awsome and N probably chosed to save that as"sale boost" for later.

But still.I can tell ya,i would have gotten a Wii way back if it was in black,even at launch lol.Just got it for SSBB later lol and because i found a black case to change it.

Can't wait to play this game!

I keep on wondering what Nintendo is doing with all of this money. At least in comparison to other gaming companies, they are making money hand over fist, and they produce some big ambitious projects that are surely big-budget, but not huge-budget, incredibly graphically detailed and over-produced stuff. They have made good money on silly mini-game collections and established franchises that, comparatively, I wouldn't expect it has cost them that much to make.

With that in mind, I am wondering how they are leveraged as a company and where the most money is going. I would think they would be buying up devs or developing a new game once a week or building a giant golden mario statue to worship...something. Or maybe the stockholders have been getting 100% dividend returns.

Mayhaps I am overestimating the levels of their profits but with a console that is relatively cheap to produce (hence, profitable on its own) and profitable franchises that sell like hotcakes, and handhelds that are becoming globally ubiquitous, there has to be a lot of profit on the bottom line.
