Well, a price drop in Europe was due. Interesting that MS is the first, but still, seeing the exchange rates, it was relatively clear that prices in Europe will fall. It is more a price correction that a drop. Sony will do the same at some point this year. Nintendo, I am not so sure. True Europe is the "weakest" market for the Wii (in matter of beating the competition) but it is still heavy sold out in NA. I think the first thing is to keep up with current demand. If they got that part, they may do such a thing in Europe.
We will see where Nintendo takes production in April (Fiscal Year ends). If Nintendo drops the price or do something this year, it will be in Europe first, I think.
