| DKII said: Everyone focusing on Nintendo missing their shipment projections is forgetting that if they do a price cut they'll just miss their profit projections instead. And if this price cut actually happens it's basically just Nintendo admitting that they have no quality hardware-moving software coming in the next year, and they don't have any confidence in NSMB Wii in particular. |
If they were able to reduce their hardware costs, it is possible their profit/unit can stay the same. The only question is whether they forcast their projections with a price cut in mind.
And with a price cut, the cost of a Wii + WiiFit bundle goes down from $330 to $280, which makes it that much more attractive to potential buyers.
