“The Wii is in the most unhealthy condition since it hit the Japanese market. The current condition in the Japanese market is not the one we want. A price cut in a difficult economy cannot really excite the market and drive up sales. As of now I really don’t think that a price cut is a good option for us. The speed with which people get tired of any new entertainment is faster in Japan than in overseas markets.” – Satoru Iwata
