Do you really think I'm trying to say that? Cmon, all I've said is that Wii's price was (and still is) too high, aside from that whole demand thing. Please answer honestly, do you think that it was fair to pay 200€ for a Wii in 2009? If you read my previous posts, you'll see that I'm aware of what Sony wants, obviously they want the same as Nintendo - money. It's naive to think otherwise. The difference is that I consider that Sony offers a much better deal than Nintendo does - quality/price. If they didn't want to lower the price, then they could have (at the very least) given a game or a controller. Having to buy a nunchunk separately shows how greedy Nintendo is. Oh, and even tho I'm aware of basic economics (I understand why you explained, probably because I said "it's completely irrational in my mind", I was refering to thinking that a console that costs 5$ do make and is sold to 250$ is a good deal), I really appreciate an honest reply instead of one insulting me and saying I suck at economy. Thumbs up for you sir =) |
I'm sorry you found my post insulting, but reading your prior posts led me to believe that you don't understand consumer pricing models and the supply/demand structure, I wasn't intentionally being insulting but I can see where it looked that way.
Seeing this post and you listing that Sony has a better quality than Nintendo, your stance makes sense. If you think Nintendo's system and games aren't worth much, it's kind of silly for me to argue with you. Bear in mind though, Sony is not offering you a "deal", they are offering you a product with X amount of features at a price that the market will allow. I personally think that Nintendo's games are much higher quality than Sony's and are $10 cheaper to boot, to me that may seem like a deal. But it's not. It's a game at a price that the market will allow.
