You can't compare the wii to the 360/PS3 market. Even Nintendo, is trying to build an online initiative. With Microsoft, nothing comes for free. Anyhow, this business model is the most successful so far, so what do you want to do about it ? The same principle applies to the rest of the electronic industries : Hardware has poor margin while services brings cash. It is a question of maintaining a successful long-term business (Nintendo is an exection cause the Wii is cheap and the sales are enormous). |
this business model may be pretty succesful so far, but it definently doesn't make you the most liked (hence why some or maybe many dislike microsoft), which means bad word of mouth and fewer customers. It also means poor customer loaylty. However, I will admit that Microsoft has good customer loyalty
