Sony cry: Wii is Just "Impulse Purchase"

[superchunk]

kwaad Every store I call for a Wii (5 or so every couple days) never has a Wii in stock. They don't even make it on the shelf usually. However, out of curiosity I ask about the PS3 and everyone of them always has 'plenty' in stock, meaining more than 1. I don't know who would say yes to plenty if there was only one in stock. I live in a large city, Tucson AZ, with a large gaming audience and quite of few section of town where the income levels are well above $50,000. So I would expect that if there were many people around that actually wanted to spend $600+ on a gaming machine they would. My family income is over $100,000. I think I am a typical gamer in terms of what I spend on games and time playing. I would not consider buying a $600 game machine, ever. That is just a waste of money. The people who are going to do this are the same hardcore bunch that buy the latest video cards for their pc's. They most likey have already bought one. People like you who don't make enough money and are saving to buy Sony's crap are not the majority. PS3 won't even come close to PS2/1 sales, they won't even come close to 10 million sold until the price drops to around $400. By then both Wii and 360 will be well into the 20+ million range. Lastly, since when is a $250 item an 'impulse buy'. I worked retail (Circuit City, Sears, and Home Depot) before, and I never say anything above $20 in the impulse buy section. Hell, Walgreen's, where you work, has what less than 10 things in the entire store over $250. The whole damn store is like an impulse buy. This just Sony's way of bashing Nintendo. Like the whole 'kiddy game' crap. Well both Sony and MS are getting their asses kicked by a kid.
