Exactly, and with Nintendo making a massive profit on each unit sold, why would they cut the hardware price? Honestly I don't expect them to cut their hardware price till 2011. If they do have a price cut next year it will be because Sony drops the PS3 to 199$-250$ making the Wii the most expensive console on the market. However Sony says a price cut is not in the works and is even defying Activision's call for a price cut. In other words expect a cut around holiday 2011! |
I don't know ...
Nintendo has been successful on a level far beyond what they expected, and maybe even further than they dreamed, with both the Nintendo DS and the Wii. I can't help but think that Nintendo is going to move into a very "Defensive" stance to ensure that they continue to be dominant in both the handheld and home console markets leading into the next generation; at that point they can try to "Fuse" their dominance in both markets to lock people into Nintendo, and push to become more dominant in the entire gaming market.
If Nintendo has done (or will do) any cost-cutting measures to the Wii's hardware production there may be lots of room to reduce the price of the Wii while still selling the hardware at a decent profit.
