The main reason that prices are going up is because we import lots of things from places like China and the value of our currency is gradually reducing relative to the Chinese currency. This is because we (and other Western countries) arent selling enough to the rest of the world to pay for what we import - instead we are both borrowing and printing money.

Also, there is a world shortage of food because the population is increasing and various problems around the world (e.g. wars and environmental effects) have reduced production.

Salaries are going down largely because Western countries are not sufficiently competitive in the global market. e.g. if you want somebody to write a computer program 20 years ago you would have needed to pay them a good salary, now you can go on to a website and get somebody from a poor country to do it for practically nothing. There are many few barriers to international competition so people generally dont get paid more than the global market dictates any longer.

Will the wii price ever go down?

Yes, the price will most likely eventually go down, but so far it isn't. It is still in high demand, so the law of supply and demand means that Nintendo doesn't have to lower its prices yet.
