Are u Kidding me?
Putting the product in a position where you have to launch a new revision at a lower price with the result of negative profit of the hardware.
Is that how you define Textbook Execution?
Which company should take notes?
- Textbook execution is when Nintendo manage to millions of DS and even after 4 year keeping it alive by launching new revision with small upgrades at a larger price.
- Making a console with a pricetag that took 3 years to change, and even with 50 dollars of the Wii sells with a profit and in huge numbers.
Nintendo is the fucking teacher and the creater of the textbook that you are talking about, Sony and Microsoft are sitting in the back crying and begging to even break even with all their money spend this generation.
