| Esmoreit said: Like hte others said, there will not be a Wii pricedrop anytime soon, the holiday would be the earliest but really, new colors in others/VS and bundles will be the first to go. And we would have had an announcement by now if that were the case. But the wii should not matter in this case. DSlover already said, Nintendo doesn't care about marketshare and frankly, the competitors don't care for the wii (officially, I believe they look at the wii for various reasons but do not acknowledge it). MS and Sony both stated it is in a wholly different market. It would be like MS reacting to a DS or apple pricedrop witht he X360... ain't going to happen |
Actually Nintendo do. As recent as GDC 09' Nintendo stated it's marketshare to get Developer's to develop for it, EVEN going as far as to point out that the Wii Balance Board, If it was a platform, would be close to outselling the PS3's worldwide total.
...Now on to the competitors not caring for what Nintendo and The Wii does in the Marketplace. I said you must have MISSED a lil' event that happen from June 1st to the 4th...
To the OP: I Really feel that it depends on how much Microsoft wants to bleed. Yes they were able to cut the price with probably miminal effect to the bottomline, but if then just want to compete this gen on price alone, I don't know if thats is the BEST strategy.
The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!
...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
