| Kwaidd said: Supply and demand is all I need to say. Regardless of what microsoft has done with arcade model of the 360, if the Wii still outsells it week after week and they need to keep the production up, where is the reason to drop the price? Just to give the people that are going to buy it next week and beyond a discount because why the heck not? Makes no sense, the demand is there so you supply it and get the good price for it. |
The demand will be there because of the new crowd of gamers it is attracting. But my point is that Nintendo says they are going for all markets, not just the new crowd of wii fit and wii sport gamers. They might not be going after the non-casual gamer and there is no good way to tell who is buying the console. One way is by the sales of non-casual games.
Some really good non-casual games are going to be released this year. I'm actually curious about how they sell. If they don't sell well, it could be that the Wii userbase is not well represented by non-purely casual gamers. These gamers can go to the 360 as an alternative and the Wii would not be so well represented in this market, even though the wii is selling like crazy.
