| greenmedic88 said: It sounds dubious coming from those who were absolutely convinced Nintendo could do no wrong this generation. Suddenly, now they're making big mistakes? I'm more inclined to believe that Nintendo knows they will move a lot more consoles at $199, and that a price drop is also the mostly likely means by which they will hit their sales projections for the year. Personally, I think it's a great move which may well be perfectly timed for the upcoming holiday season. And for the record, I thought it was definitely necessary contrary to popular belief. |
People were convinced Nintendo was doing right when Nintendo's actions seemed to be following Blue Ocean and Disruption strategies, but the price cut is a red ocean action which is why people feel its wrong.
Hard to tell if you're being sarcastic or not
