It probably would. I saw a review of the new classic controller from japan in black and it had fingerprints all over it. On the plus side though the wii doesnt scratch as easily as the ps3 so it wouldnt be to bad. Just dont let kids touch it.Hobie-wan wrote:While I agree a black one would be nice, aren't Wiis glossy like the PS3 fat?

Another confirmation!

A Target circular has the Nintendo Wii priced at $199.99 starting September 27th. The circular joins other ads by Wal-Mart and Toys R Us that also indicate an upcoming Wii price cut.
With three separate ads from three major retailers all showing the Wii price cut for late September, it obviously seems very likely that the Wii price will be cut to $199.99 very soon. Nintendo will likely confirm the price cut at the Kyoto Cross Media Experience 2009 on September 26.

Re: Leaked Toys R Us Ad Shows Wii At $199
Why???
Are they really worried about losing market share? I didn't think there were that many people out there trying to decide between a PS3 and Wii or X360 and Wii. They've got their own market and I fully expected them to run with $250 forever..
Good for them though!

A lot of it might be that they said, "Okay most of the people willing to pay $250 have bought one. Now let's see who will pay $200 for it."

Re: Leaked Toys R Us Ad Shows Wii At $199
They should have dropped it to 150. To me the Wii isnt as featured as a PS3 and the wii isnt worth 200 dollars in my eyes.

Wii Price Drop
Amazon just sent me an email...
I know a lot of people were saying lately, "Hey, the PS3 has price drops, the 360 has price drops... what about the Wii!" So I figured I'd post this news.
