May 15th continues to be a month away, however the Nintendo Wii’s price won’t wait — both Best Buy and Toys ‘R’ Us have already got the motion-controlled console on sale for $170 today. Mind you, this doesn’t seem to be an enduring price cut — note “Limited Time Offer!” above — but we wouldn’t be surprised if other retailers follow suit in very short order. With rumors swirling around deeper price cuts and maybe, maybe, possibly even a brand new backwards-compatible HD machine , every Wii sold at $170 today generally is a little extra gold of their pockets and no more unwanted inventory to handle.
