Best Buy Memo Confirms Wii Price Drop?

Here is piece of evidence #5 that the Wii will be dropping to $199, though this is still not official until Nintendo makes its announcement on Friday. Best Buy is circulating a memo inside the company telling employees to keep quiet until Friday and not talk to customers about this.

If you don't have a Wii, you're probably not visiting a site like this. If you are you already have a Wii and aren't affected at all. I know it's good to be at the lowest price point for all consoles and Nintendo doesn't really need to drop the price to remain on top. People are still buying Wii's but this could allow some games to get a jump in price if people go into the store expecting to pay $250 for the system.

We'll see in the next couple of months how this affects sales of the Wii, but it won't really be evident until after the holiday sales. People are getting ready to be in holiday shopping mode so sales were going to go up anyway.
