Did the price cut really helps the PS3 and the Wii? Or its just temporary?

If moving off the bottom of the weekly console sales charts and more than tripling sales from previous months isn't progressive (not helping) then I don't know what is.

Temporary???

Everything in life IS temporary.

 

 

If you mean the Wii did the Wii have more sales weekly last year compared to this year?

Is the Wii selling better than what it was before the price cut? Honestly Nintendo know what they're doing, the Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, NSMBWii and price cut are all going to work in tandem this holiday to push Wii sales higher than last holiday. It wasn't going to happen without the price cut because Nintendo screwed up this year and didn't have the hardware sellers available.

PS3 - It's obviously helped and sales are increasing every week. Sure it's temporary but it'll probably last 6 months or more before the PS3 really starts dropping again.

 

 

You must read my last post before this one, Nintendo Wii must outsell or even more their monthly sales last year for the pricecut to be worth it. if not, why even bother with losing potential profit with a 250 dollar console to slash the price at  200?

Business doesn't work that way, there is a certain amount of people that will buy your product at $250. There's a certain number that will buy at $199 etc.. Nintendo obviously weighed up the amount of people that would buy this holiday for $250 and it wasn't enough. It's about momentum in the console business and having a lower amount of sales through the holiday would probably have caused a future price cut to $199 to have a smaller impact.

Trust me, you can't just say 'it has to outsell last year to be worth it' because there are many other factors to consider with a pricing strategy.

 

 

Which means you have nothing to say... Even Pachter would predict that this time the Wii's fandom fizzeld out and Nintendo needs a new console Wii HD Wii 2 anything to satisfy the userbase and PS360 should battle with the red ocean with their motion controllers. And make the Wii becomes a cash cow like the PS2 while Ninty will invest in their new console for another blue ocean.And for everyone that quote Pachter's predictions, what he said in the public was just for public enjoyment. I mean aint the gaming community wouldnt have good laughs if not for Pachter's crazy predictions?

 

And trust me, not everything that Nintendo done was good or for the better of their business...

 

I betcha even the PS3 equaled or even outsells the Wii in the next NPD even with the price cut you will still say that Good job Nintendo. your Wii was still selling.
