| thetonestarr said: They will redo their entire packaging scheme. The "normal" Wii will come with Wii Sports, Wii Fit, 1 Wii remote, 1 Nunchuck, and 1 Balance Board, selling for $230 ($229.99). The "Upgraded" Wii will contain Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Play, 2 Wii remotes, 2 Nunchucks, 1 Balance Board, 1 10GB HDD, and DVD playability. It will sell for $350 ($349.99). |
Why on earthy would Nintendo lower their price by 20 dollars when it's already selling out as fast as they can make it with the current load-out and price? Why would nintendo lower their price by 20 dollars after adding in a new peripherial and game that they can (and will) sell by the droves for 80 some dollars?
All that they would really be doing is lowering their per-console profit margin by a sizable portion because they are putting in more stuff (with separate profit potential on its own) in addition to lowering the price before the market demands it.
I just don't see that happening at all. They may release an upgraded Wii with DVD playback and a harddrive, but I have no idea where you're getting the idea that they will package wii fit into it and somehow sell it for anything less that 249, if not more.
