Nintendo has announced it will begin officially selling the Wii console for $150 bundled, starting May 15th.
The bundle includes a Wii remote, Mario Kart, and a steering wheel.
Nintendo will continue to sell the $169.99 bundle (which includes Wii Sports Resort and Wii Sports) until inventory runs out. From there, that price point will be discontinued.
Says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime:
There is quite a bit more volume to be sold on the Wii home console. And the way we are going to get there is by offering the system at this low price and by including a key software title like Mario Kart."
