You completely killed that point... you basically said that most of the people who bought a wii would have bough wii sports anyways and that bundling it they justified the 250 price tag... and that it was a smart move................... so id say selling the wii alone for 200 and basically doubling your sales while everyone still buys the game is a better choice then just bundling a game that will sell 20+ by itself anyways.. I didn't say wii sports wasn't unique.. I said WSR wasn't unique.. because it isn't ... its the same thing as wii sports only with worst games.. WS and WSR do not compare to SM... the only thing that they have in common is being bundled at some point or another... |
Basically doubling sales? How would that be possible? They can't keep the Wii in stock as it is, so that would be foolish. A price cut of $50 wouldn't come anywhere close to doubling sales anyway, not to mention it would cut their profit margins for selling the hardware down a ton.
Wii Sports is comparable to Super Mario Bros, because it's the biggest system seller we've seen since then (this time even bigger, due to the world scale and population increase).
As for what makes WSR unique, the fact it offers Motion+, and promises more "fun" is the selling point. It's basically representing Motion+, which should be a success (Nintendo will definitely push it, hard). According to you, Wii Play doesn't sound unique either, yet its attach rate is keeping up with the Wii quite nicely.
