Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Analist: Wii must lower its price to $150

http://www.meristation.com/v3/des_noticia.php?id=cw4b7bfab600148&pic=GEN

The site where this comes from is in Spanish. I made this translation for you:

 

 

Nintendo has built most of its massive market of casual players on the basis of a price of a 250 dollars price point, commented Hickey. We believe that Nintendo needs to lower the price of its console from 200 to 150 dollars immediately, they should establish a significant base of consoles before Natal and Arc come to the market.
In the same way, we believe that Nintendo needs to generate strong hardware sales before the moment in which its competitors come to confront the perception of the consumer of which Wii has reduced drastically its value of entertainment as innovative product.

What do you think guys?

I believe it is going to be really difficult for both Microsoft and SONY to succesfully enter the casual market the way Nintendo has. Nintendo already has more than sixty million consoles out there, all of which have at least one motion sense control. Not to mention the Wii Balance Board and the Wii motion plus, with more than 20 and 10 million units sold respectively. And of course they have the games. 

My bet is that Nintendo won't lower the price until next christmas.

I think this is a repeat of another thread we just had.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
