Its like I said before, software sells consoles, not price and price cuts (In fact in Japan, new colors and hardware revisions might even be more effective than price cuts). Price cuts only serve to make your money go further when buying a console you're already interested in, what Wii needs in Japan is the release of its winter lineup to get people interested, of course, since October and part of November is historically a slow month for Japan, Nintendo appears to be holding off until late November, December to release its big titles |
Wrong.
When you get within a certain price range ($200-300 or less), price doesn't make as much of a difference. However, a price cut can definitely help spur sales. Saying that software sells consoles and not the price is a blatant lie. It's a combination of the two, and it's a matter of finding the sweet spot. That is, a company must decide which combination of factors provides the best value. If you really think that all the Wii needs is some software to boost it up, you must have missed Wii Sports Resort and Monster Hunter 3 (two games that were supposed to really boost Wii sales). What's Wii Fit Plus (or some other title) going to do to really boost up Wii sales?
I'm not saying you're totally wrong, but when you're actually making definitive statements like price cuts not selling consoles, you know you're become delusional.
