Less than what it did the same week last year.

So the price cut week will do less than 330K?  Even with Wii Fit plus coming out?  Let me put it in perspective, when WSR launched in the US a few weeks back Wii did 337K WW, and you're saying that the Price cut won't do that?  Seriously?

I think he's actually on the money.

One of the reason price cuts give big boost the first week is that all the customers planning to buy a console and that become aware of the cut delay their purchase until the week the cut takes place. From all account that has not been the case for the Wii.

Long term it does encourage customers that though the old price was too high to purchase it but those won't necessary rush to make their purchase the first week...

The Wii is hovering around 17k in Japan right now and I doubt it will go above 30k the week of the cut ( still would be a nice 80% boost).

US and Others will probably go back to 110k levels so add those 3 and you get 250k...

 

 

You may be right that people aren't putting off their Wii purchases, however that doesn't address the fact that Japan is getting Wii Fit plus, UK is getting a new Bundle, and that WSR was able to life Wii's sales over 300K

It's funny how you like to twist facts. WSR wasn't the responsible for those sales on its own. You are purposedly forgetting that MH3 was launched in Japan that same week and it moved 95k Wii's there.

Now your comments are the ones not making any sense.
