312915407 f8a0ca47c1 o Nintendo Wii to get $50 price dropIf you’re in the market to buy a Nintendo Wii, you might want to hold off a bit longer.

According to a leaked ToysRUs flyer, the Nintendo Wii will now be priced at US $199.99, or $50 off the regular price, starting in the last week of September.

It is very likely the rumor is in fact true given falling demand for the Wii, and the recent launch of the PS3 Slim and price reduction of both the PS3 and Microsoft’s Xbox.

Both companies will not confirm the apparent leak.
