Comments on: Nintendo: No plans for Wii, DS price cuts

A top exec at the gaming company says he doesn't think the company will need to trim prices to meet sales goals, according to a published report.

No reason to cut prices

At the stores around, here, at least, both are usually sold out. If they want to make more money, increasing production, not cutting prices, is the answer.

I agree, so why aren't they?

I agree, Nintendo dosen't have to lower their prices. I have been looking for a Nintendo Wii being sold at nintendo's recommended price for four months now, and there is simply not one to be had anywhere. The demand is obviously there, stores still can't keep them on the shelves after a year and a half! So why hasn't Nintendo ramped up their production? It isn't going to be too much linger before other companies start coming out with Wii-like clones.
