Nintendo Wii on sale at Toys R Us, Best Buy for $169.99

May 15th is still a month away, but the Nintendo Wii’s price won’t wait — both Best Buy and Toys ‘R’ Us already have the motion-controlled console on sale for $170 today. Mind you, this doesn’t look like a permanent 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 perhaps , maybe , possibly even a new backwards-compatible HD machine , every Wii sold at $170 today could be a little extra gold in their pockets and less unwanted inventory to deal with.
