| GianCarmen said: Nintendo should drop the Price too $199 not because of Microsoft or Sony, but because they are the only ones not to drop the price since it launched almost 3 years ago. How many pricecuts/bundles have Sony and Microsoft done. Way too many to count. Its time for Nintendo to step it up with price cuts/Bundles and colors. |
I don't think Nintendo will start to play the price cut game until next year at the earliest. I think they'll wait to see the effect PS3 Motion control and Natal for 360 have on the market.
I think that'd be a better time for Nintendo to really begin slashing the Wii price and introducing new Wii bundles, perhaps balance board or motion plus bundles. They'll add value to an already massively popular system that has familiarised a large number of people with motion control, just as their rivals are attempting to establish motion control on their own systems and compete with Nintendo in that market.
From there, I wouldn't be surprised to see Nintendo role out a new machine in 2011 or 2012, to try and sidestep the competition again.
