And also, considering it was retailers that originally revealed the Wii pricecut, it's more likely that Nintendo dealt in similar fashion that Sony did. The old units, that a retailer bought with the old price and sold with the new, are likely to be compensated when making orders for new ones. @Untamoi: He was talking about one extreme, not the general gaming population. |
You may be right about this specific issue depending on the country: here in Italy MS didn't heavily advertise XB360 itself, actually it didn't at all since last Xmas, but games, and what's more clumsy, XB360 versions of multipltform games, so the unaware casuals enter the shop, say they'd like to play, for example, that Beatles game (by far the most advertised game for XB360 here, currently), chances are the greedy retailer, hoping to sell them, immediately or in future, more Wiimotes and Nunchucks, WM+, Balance Board, etc, will sell them a Wii.
