people were saying nintendo didnt need to cut the price and called pachter an idiot for suggesting that. what happened? he was right. remember DSi? people thought they'd be no need for a newSKU because sales were high but nintendo brought it out anyway, just like they are bringing out the DSI XL despite high sales. just because a console is selling well doesnt mean it cant sell better. I repeat this is NOT next gen, simply a new SKu or a new push at the mainstream gamers (not core, hardcore or casual)
also yushire how were you right?
you claimed that neither PS3 nor wii price cuts helped when its pretty that they did help with the exception of wii in japan. if anything the time that has elapsed since that thread had just shown you to be more wrong. nintendo is not going to go bankrupt for a very long time, and btw i do not long for a wii HD. Ive just bought a new black wii and im quite happy keeping this until next generation. this thread is not something i want its just a theory I have |
LOL NO. Just admit it, the pricecut didnt help. It didnt help that Nintendo even thinks the pricecut was pointless. The wii will sell either way, just recap on what happened:

Thats right. Its WSR that helps the Wii to maintain its sales till NSMB Wii came along, NOT THE PRICECUT. The pricecut was nothing more but a hardcore gamers thinking, I doubt Nintendo will make a pricecut again.
"and btw i do not long for a wii HD. Ive just bought a new black wii and im quite happy keeping this until next generation. this thread is not something i want its just a theory I have"
You wishful thinking it though, if not so you shouldnt created this thread. Core gamers its over, therell be no Wii HD till atleast 2012 and thats questionable. The Wii will still selling 10 years to come
