| SnowWhitesDrug said: I would buy nintendo shares while the stock market is down. If they focus their attention on that in a few generations time they might border on actually owning nintendo. but im sure there are legal implications preventing this, but it would be a good move I reckon :) |
Erm... Nintendo's market cap is over 2.5x more than Sony (yep, the whole company), how in the world would they pull that off? xP
OT: I wouldn't bother with all that bundling. It doesn't work very well, simply because most of the buyers won't value most of the games. I guess I'd consider bundling LBP in every PS3, but that's it.
If software BC with PS2 is doable, of course I'd put it in ASAP. The PS2 has really been slowing down, it's time to look to the future - it'll be fine if PS3 eats up PS2 sales, the software they purchase should more than make up for it. Of course, I'd make sure the PS3 is losing as little as possible (though hard to say, when we have no idea what any company makes/loses per console).
There's not much else to do, but ride out the current slump until the games arrive. For GT5's arrival (push for late Q3 release in the west), a small price cut ($50) with bundles and massive advertising should spark some attention, similar to the MGS4 rise earlier this year (hopefully bigger). Other than that, I think they need to stop spending so much in trying to catch up to the 360 - it can't be done without massive losses. Accept third place, while planning things out for next-gen.
