Rumor: Queda de preço do Wii antes da E3, 150$ dia 15 de Maio

Nintendo is to cut the North American price of the Wii by 25 percent to $150 on May 15.

That's according to a "trusted" Engadget source, who claims the platform holder won't wait until E3 the following month to make the announcement.

While it's pure rumour for now, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime suggested last month that a price drop is among the tools the company could use to extend the Wii's lifecycle.

"The Wii has a long life in front of it," the exec said. "We're still sitting at $199. There are a variety of marketing tools at our disposal."
