| Reasonable said: In terms of the Wii the impact will likely be so small as to be negligible. Sure, price matters, but only when comparing like for like. Between now and December 2008 I doubt MS can change public perception of the 360 enough that someone in the market for a Wii would buy a 360 because its cheaper or has a copied Wii Mote. The 360, for better for worse, is right now locked in a battle with PS3. I'm very confident the majority of Wii purchasers don't even consider a PS3 / 360 when they head into the store. Their choice was made beforehand and is based on market perception and 'zeitgeist' for want of a better term. I suppose if Wii's were out of stock some 360's might shift as a replacement - but most kids of friends I know would not be happy to find out their desired Wii has morphed into a 360 without the Mario games they want to play. Or to use a more direct analogy, if I went out to buy an Ipod I wouldn't buy a Zune just because it was in stock and cheaper. |
==> this already happened last year when Wii was sold out.
I just hope Ninty has enought stock this year, I REALLY HOPE
