I think this wouldn't have that great of an effect (maybe a consistent 10% increase over current numbers).
Why?
Wii is already the cheapest console, people who want a game console but don't want to spend a lot of money (thus not caring which console they get) would probably own a wii. To put another way all of the "impulse buys" from this price point would have to come from PS360 owners since the Wii has already been the most "impulse buy" console for a while.
The Wii has already been sold to like 1/6th of the world's population (I keed), so, unless penguins start buying Wiis, they have no more people to sell to. |
I agree with the 10% increase, but that's largely due to supply contraints. ;)
A $99 barrier of entry is a pretty fucking gigantic difference from $199, especially in today's economy...
Actually, I sort of suspect a $99 Wii would still probably be profitable for Nintendo. lol.
