It appears Nintendo is either being sneaky as usual in their denial of a Wii price cut, or they’re really telling the truth this time. A rep for Nintendo of Europe has issued a statement in regards to the leaked Toys R Us ad that showed Wii with a $199 price tag, starting September 27th.
“We currently have no plans to cut the price of Wii. Current talk of price cuts is rumour and speculation. This is rumour and speculation as Nintendo have made no announcements on price. Furthermore this is most likely retailer led much in the same way retailers in the UK offer price promotions on our products.”
Nintendo in the past has denied rumors, only for gamers to find out within days that they were true all along. Whether this is the case or not, you might want to hold off on buying that Wii until the end of September.
