It would only put them in a Red Ocean and hurt what they have done so far. Second, Nintendo has shown that software is the best way to push the hardware. With Moster Hunter 3 and Wii Sports Resort, hardware was increased for the weeks of their release. The same effect could be archived by a price cut, but it would not be worth it. Nintendo could instead make more compelling software and keep the price the same. You can make software and continue to at least get little boost. You can do the same with a price cut, but you can only cut price for so long. |
@ BOLD: And thats the thing, from a business perspective revenue is down for both Sony & Microsoft games division. Sony had to cut price in the hopes that it's revenue making products, games & accessories, would rise. The thing that Sony has that Microsoft didn't have at it's current price point is enough noteworthy exclusive content to make a difference. This is why I think the Sony price cut tail will be longer then Microsoft's price cut tail.
The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!
...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
