| puffy said: Nintendo aren't being greedy if they don't cut the price, they're keeping to their strategy. If Nintendo begin to lose market share, it won't be because the PS3 is taking sales away from Wii but because the PS3 is selling more so the total HD consoles sold compared to Wii will be greater. I think it's likely that this will happen in September but the Ps3 won't be stealing Wii sales. Therefore I think Nintendo cutting the price would be silly as it won't pull consumers away from the PS3 at all, it'll just provide more incentives to consumers who were interested in Wii already. |
Yes it will. I guess you're one of those people who believe the Wii and the PS3 or not in competition. I don't think the Wii is direct competition as much as the HD consoles are but there is a lot of overlap.
I can see a lot of moms buying a console for their children and picking a PS3 over a Wii.
Mom: " I want to a video game system for my son"
Gamespot Employee: "You can get a Wii for 250 or a PS3 or 360 for just 50 dollars more"
Mom: "Why is the PS3 50 dollars more?"
Gamespot Employee: "It has much better hardware that can run better graphics and sound and you can play bluray movies"
Mom: " I always wanted to watch Desperate Housewives in HD. Sold!"
