Forums - Nintendo Discussion - "Sega" Nintendo could drop the Wii price to $80 and still make a profit

Yes I put "Sega" like that because this came from the mounth of Mr Constantine Hantzopoulos, yes the same Bozo that delivers this new early.

“The interesting thing is Nintendo, they make money off of every console they sell. I think one of the big things that we found out is it really is a mass market product where mom or whoever goes out, the 80% of the people out there who go out and buy a Wii box are happy with Wii Sports and they don’t really need another game. Or if they do need another game, they’ll buy Wii Resort because it comes with a free Wiimote or Wii Play…So, honestly I don’t know…You can obviously see that profits are down for Nintendo. I think the Wii is on its tail slide, unless they drop the price to like 80 bucks then you’ll start seeing it flying off the shelves.And I believe they’ll still make money if they drop it to 80 bucks…Point being is they have the ability to lower the price on the Wii [...] where Sony and Microsoft cannot do that.” - SEGA's Constantine Hantzopoulos

How much a Wii cost? Anyway I could believe a 120 or 150 price tag, but 80 bucks is too much.

I very much doubt that



how does he know that?




              

It's official, this guy has no clue what he is talking about. Time to ignore everything he has ever said.

What is this? SEGA trolls Nintendo week?

I thought they were done with that 16 years ago.

Then again the "Wii is the world's most expensive board game" comes to mind.



Pixel Art can be fun.

At 80 bucks you'll see it flying off the shelves? What's it doing now, then?

Also, why would Nintendo drop the price that low, when they're selling every console they produce, and making tons of profit...? This guy has no clue.

Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

i get it they're trying to bankrupt nintendo so they can release dreamcast 2



I so doubt



The insides of the thing are quite outdated, and since the Nintendo sold the GC for $50, then yes, he may be right.
