Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Think those Wii sales numbers have been sagging? Sure the whole industry’s been dragging itself along through the middle of this year despite some stellar titles hitting very high marks on non-Nintendo systems, but Nintendo apparently thinks their massive bank of money counting machines needs a workout again.

Now that the PS3 is $299 and Microsoft is throwing a rebate at the 360 to take it down to $250 for a couple of weeks to blunt Sony’s numbers Nintendo has decided to up the value proposition on its little white juggernaut of a console by cutting the price to $199 effective Sunday the 27th. So says Engadget.

Anyone else think that the surge from this won’t hit previous sales numbers? I’m guessing everyone that really wanted a Wii by now has one. Then again, a recession is a recession, and this is a convenient excuse to spend unnecessary money on something around the holidays, and it probably means even I will have one before the year is out.
