Despite console price cuts being the in thing at the moment (Sony's $599 or %26pound;349PS3 and the Xbox 360 price drops), Nintendo says it expects to keep the Wii price-point unchanged for the "foreseeable future" since it is selling all of the units it makes.
Speaking to Reuters, Nintendo of America's marketing VP George Harrison said: "We'll stay at $249 for the foreseeable future. We are still selling everything we can make."
This is in-line with earlier comments from NOA president Reggie Fils-Aime, who said that company would not be able to meet the large Wii demand this Christmas.
That's it then; spread the word, because until mothers and grandparents stop buying Nintendo's console, new buyers are going to have toput up with the harsh price point - which let's not forget is the same as an Xbox 360 Core.
