You also have to factor in last years supply constraints which are no longer an issue. It's questionable whether Nintendo will be able to deliver even higher sales during the 2010 year than they have in 2008 and 2009 without a price cut (even if they do end up selling better in 09 than 08). Either this year or next year sales will end up falling and necessatating a price cut and at that point the logevity of Nintendo's success will come into question. In the coming year or two the controversial assertion that the Wii is a fad will be answered by either growing sales or a price cut.

I think I just blew a few logical fuses in my brain. Pardon me while I go replace them.

Most people DO expect a price cut either this year or next year. If that does happen than it calls into question the Wii's longevity as a long term brand rather than a product with temporary appeal riding off the heals of media attention.

Are you kidding me? A price cut 3-4 years post launch determines whether Wii is a fad or not?
How far back is that goal post now? The parking lot?
|
Selling a lot does not automatically discount a product as a fad. A notable example would be the Furby craze in the late 90's. They sold millions for years but the brand ended up dying off and now nobody cares about them.

People don't continue to purchase software for fads. The whole notion that Wii is or ever was a fad fails upon the definition itself.
Nor does price, or the reduction of, determine fad status. That's a ridiculous conclusion that I can only imagine stemming from the satirical minds of the SDF.
You have 28 posts here and none of them evoke any semblence of logic or reason.
