Nintendo announces Wii price cut
The price of the Wii is due to be slashed throughout the world, Nintendo has confirmed.
The 20 per cent cuts are due to begin in the US and Japan, in a bid to reignite new interest in the best-selling console.
At beginning of the year, the price was increased in the UK by £20 due to pound depreciation, although many retailers chose to maintain the £179 price tag.
This time around however, Nintendo confirmed that the UK price drop is likely to be ”determined by retailers themselves”.
This cut follows the moves of Sony and Microsoft who have cut the costs of the PS3 to £250 and the Xbox 360 Elite to £199, ahead of the Christmas shopping season.
