This. A DVD player isn't going to be a selling point, so why add it? Basically everyone has DVD players nowadays, and if not, you can get them for like 20 bucks, so why buy a 250 dollar/euro console for it? Besides, Wii is still outselling its competitors (aside from the coming few weeks maybe beacuse of Sony and MS's pricecuts, but I'm sure those sales spikes will die off soon too), so why would Nintendo even consider releasing a new console...? |
While the Wii will surely be ahead of the PS3 and X360 given enough time for the price cuts to fall back to "normal" levels, there is still good reason for Nintendo to do something to boost hardware sales. This time last year we were seeing over 100k every week, but now we are seeing 75k. While 75k is still fairly impressive, they will never meet their hardware shipment projections at the current rate. They really need to boost demand either by a price cut, must have software, new colors, or new features.
