Nintendo isn't selling well because of price, it is because they have a new experience for gamers and non-gamers to embrace. Although Nintendo could easily drop their price and still make a profit, they have no need to do so. |
BS, If you think price has nothing to do with it then you are absurd. For most price is ALWAYS a consideration, don't be naive...
OT: No neither sony or ms will be able to compete with N on price... but didn't we all know this? Just like a Ferrari can't compete in price with a Miata...

I've said this countless times, but than again most of them don't know how it is to pay bills and etc...
Their counter argument always come to the 360, or the Gamecube.

Of course price matters but that's not the only reason as to why the Wii is selling. People don't have $250 to throw away any time they want. They buy it for games. It's just more people saw more value in the PS2 than the GC, and people now see more value in the Wii over the HD consoles.

You changed your mind fast...I've seen many that say price has nothing to do with it. In real life, these kind of people fall under the category of ludicrous. To add on, thats just the starting price for the HD consoles, as you have to take into account that the games are more expensive and they also use more energy.HD consoles bring in bigger bills than Wii. An argument against this is just futile.

Perhaps this has already been said, (haven't read past here) but you don't understand what JaggedSac means.
Price is a factor in buying a games console in the first place because price is a factor in anything we buy..... but once you have decided "I'm going to buy a games console" the price of the Wii doesn't come into it.... people will either buy a Wii, or not buy a Wii (instead buying PS3 or 360) they decided which of the 2 paths to go and as Wii has no similar competition the price doesn't matter.
This was the same last generation... when people decided to buy a console, they might have been poor and only just able to afford a PS2, but that didn't make them buy a cheaper GameCube instead, they just went and bought a PS2 anyway. Of course there are exceptions, like if unknowing parents go to buy a console for you, they might simply buy the cheapest anyway... or whichever is the most well known anyway.
