Nintendo could raise the price of the Wii to $299 and it would still fly off the shelves. They have done a masterful job of marketing and supply manipulation to create high demand for over 2 years now.  Why cut the price when you're making money hand over fist at the current price? 

 

This is not oil. Supply manipulation doesn't work here.

 

I didn't mean that in a bad way. Quite the opposite actually. Nintendo should teach a class on how to created demand for a product.

How does one create demand?  (Other than creating an amazing product that interests people?)
