Do i sense some people against Nintendo dropping the Wii's price?

Of course. This is a terrible decision in the long run. Many of us have been saying this for ages.

Nintendo dropping the price of their own console which all first place system have done before, is a terrile idea because?

Only the Blue Ocean purists believe it's a bad idea to drop it at all. I just believe it's a bad idea to drop it now, pre-holiday season. I (and others) would find a later drop more useful.

 

I mean, it's been rather evident that Nintendo hasn't been following the Blue Ocean as gospel. They've been engaging the whole "Monster Hunter 3" thing with as much gusto as any Red Ocean tactician might, and to be fully Blue Ocean, they would have stopped doing a number of things that still bind them to the old market.

Being dogmatic about these things is a sure way to lose your position as market leader. 

A smart company knows how to react and adapt to the market. 

Apple has dropped the price of the iPhone massively since its introduction, and its meant nothing but good things for its adoption by consumers.
