This is to you and others who doubt Wii will outsell 2008 holiday by a lot.

 

1. NO SUPPLY CONSTRAINTS

2. WSR + WiiFit+  + NSMBWii + NSMB fucking Wii.

3. PRICE CUT

4. 3RD YEAR IN MARKET

This is effectively the Wii's third year. This is the year when consoles generally peak.

1. Then how wii is selling now less than 2008 when it was supply constrained? It should sell more, right?

2. Sequels aren't system sellers. NSMB wii? I don't see that moving a lot of consoles.

3. How many times we have heard that it is not about the price... when wii was the cheapest console, many argued that price was not the selling point of wii. 50$ is not big enough cut to get a big boost for any console.

4. lolwut.... generally, that sums it up.

1. This cannot be taken as important without considering parts 2 and 3.

2. Sequels may not bring in tons of new people, but in combination they help keep value for the hardware up and that with a massive game like NSMB will cause many a system to sell.

3. Price isnt important, but value is. Hence why @ $250 Wii with far inferior specs and general features still outsells the PS360 regularly. It's value is percieved as greater to the general consumer. Well, the $250 valued consumers is about dried up for Wii based on its current feature set and games. So, not its time to hit the next level of consumers @ $200. Plus, there are tons who would buy it at $150 or so, that will be pushed to pay $200 given certain games, like NSMBWii.

4. Seriously, that's all you got. I put out a ton of evidence and sales facts for two generations and all you can say is "lolwut.... generally, that sums it up." Guess from your avatar and mannerisms I should have realized your level of thinking. So take a good look at my avatar and RESPECT MY AUTHORATAH!!!!!!
