AnthonyW86 said: I think Nintendo are currently digging a pretty big hole for themselves. Their losing valuable 3rd party support, and are going for the quick bucks by keeping the Wii overpriced. Sure it is doing great right now, and will still do fine after Natal and ''Arc'' release. But those will already force Nintendo to drop price. ANd what about next gen? Without the motion control advantage and lower 3rd party support, what are they going to do? |
Bwahahahaha, what value do the third parties give to Nintendo?
NATAL and the Arc won't cause Wii to lower price, unless Sony and MS alter their methods for going after the downmarket
Nintendo only has to disrupt the market again next gen
