Are you hoping for a Nintendo Wii price cut anytime soon? Forget it. According to this Wall Street Journal blog posting, Nintendo isn’t planning to cut the price of the Nintendo Wii ahead of E3 – even though there are signs that U.S. demand for the Wii might be cooling off. Reggie Fils-Aime, President of Nintendo of America is quoted as saying:

“We are not considering any type of price change at any point, at this time.”

The company is looking to content to help boost console sales but would not mention what games might be introduced at E3.

Finally, forget about Nintendo entering the handheld/phone biz too. Mr. Fils-Aime had this to say about that market:

“The phone industry is outside our expertise. And so I would never say never, but fundamentally, Nintendo is an entertainment company… Right now the way we define our company, getting into the phone business is a pretty radical departure.”
