If Nintendo plans to drop the price by spring, Econ 101 says that the demand for the Wii is low. From what I can tell in my city, Every Wii shipped to a store is sold out in minutes.

I can't believe that Nintendo would drop a console price by 20% only 4 months after launch. I hope they do, mind you, with two kids and a wife clammoring for one for Christmas (and poor Santa's bag is empty ;( ) but I will believe it when I see it.

For example, the DS Lite has been out for over a year and there's been no price drop.

Yes although the DS Lite has seen no price drop, there has been price drops on the DS as a whole.

Did you get your WII for Christmas?

We're still trying to get one, but we keep missing them.

My husband literally got to several stores just minutes after they had sold out of them.

I thought the PS3 was going to be the popular item, but you can easily get those. The Wiis are very hard to find, and it's now January.
