| -ku- said: Just coming into this from the first page read. I don't think it really will or if so just slightly. I don't believe there's that high demand for the WII any more. I think Nintendo will make less profit this remaining year than if they just left the price at 250. Kind of like Microsoft. |
You do realize that even before a price drop, Wii was selling around 190K per week, even with only one really big title all year and even after its competitors price cuts, that is still very strong demand, and this winter Wii is going to have some heavy hitters in its lineup, so the idea that demand isn't there for Wii is ridiculous
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
