While the Wii has been in decline worldwide, its still outselling its competitors combined (roughly), so its more like the Wii is just now not selling like it was at LAUNCH (in the US). Supply has met demand, but that is not a condition for a price drop, or everyone would drop the price 6 months out from launch. The price drop card is a big play, and should be used sparingly.
I'm all for power moves and price wars, but it wouldnt surprise me if Wii held at launch price into 2010. Heck, they just went through the trouble of RAISING the price in the UK. Since Nintendo's current fiscal year ends in March 2010, they might be able to get by with holding off until after the holidays to drop the price.
