@Feylic: What makes consoles so special compared to other hardware?
My point is that it's perfectly justified to raise prices. It doesn't even matter if it reduces sales volume, profits matter a lot more in these times. |
Nothing really, just that the OP has this in it, "The Nintendo Wii could be the first console in history that will not only have held its launch price for over two years, but actually increase it."
My point is that the OP clearly states that this is news worthy because it is a CONSOLE, then you go and throw in that other hardware makers have done the same thing and post a link to TVs. wtf?
|
A video game console is a consumer electronic device and so is a TV.
|
Aaaahg I know!, but what does that have to do with this thread!? Which is about consoles!
|
Prices have gone up for consumer electronics before, and it will happen again in the future. It is nothing to freak out about. These things happen.
|
Why are you oblivious to what I am trying to say... I know consumer electronics prices can go up EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT, this thread is about a gaming CONSOLE going up in price, which NO OTHER HAS DONE BEFORE!
|
I know what your are trying to say. You are just needlessly narrowing your vision to try and make this a big deal.
|
I never ever, once said this was a big deal. The only deal I am making out of it, is that some people are trying to deflect the point of the thread, which is that this is the first time a console has increased in price. I understand that companies need to make a profit, and will change prices to do so, but to just brush this off as an everyday consumer electronics occurance is just wrong.

Like NJ5 said at the begining of the thread:

O my god, just never mind, you're clearly too dense.
