The difficulty of selling a Wii

Trying to pass a technicality like that is like trying to say a thief doesn't steal, they just borrow with no intent of returning.

 

 

If I were you I wouldn't use analogies in this thread, it seems some people are extremely sensitive to them.

And that's where you and I disagree. I think whoever is wants a product the most should get it. But we can't just ask people "How bad do you want a Wii?" because everyone who wanted one would have the same answer ("A lot" "More than that other guy" etc.). Therefore whoever is willing to pay the most for a product should get it. Does that favor the rich to some extent? Of course, welcome to real life. But in this case there are still plenty of Wiis available to people with less money to get from stores for the listed price. And some of those poorer people are probably the same people who are picking up the extra Wiis and selling them to rich people for a higher price. Or do you think wealthy people like to make a little extra cash selling Wiis on ebay?

 

So according to you, the best solution would be for Nintendo to start selling Wiis with an auction system?
