Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Nintendo will officially drop the price of its Wii game console from $199.99 to $149.99, effective May 15. Details of the price drop — including the effective date — leaked online last month and retailers like Amazon, Best Buy and Toys R Us lowered the price on the console to $169.99 two weeks ago. Since its debut in 2006, the Wii has sold more than 35 million units in the U.S. alone. Sales began to decline in 2010, however, thanks to stronger competition by the Xbox 360 and its Kinect camera add-on. Meanwhile, the Wii hardware is showing its age — and doesn’t do full HD. Nintendo confirmed that the Wii successor will launch in 2012 . ( Mfarhanonline has put together a comprehensive guide to the various Wii 2 rumors.) In addition to lowering the price by $50, Nintendo will also be putting together a new Wii bundle. Available in both black and white, the Wii system will ship with the Mario Kart Wii game, a Wii Wheel accessory, as well as the standard Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk controller. That’s quite a bargain for $149.99. If you haven’t jumped on the Wii bandwagon, is the new price and bundle enough to make a difference? Let us know in the comments.
