if Nintendo does cut the price on the Wii, it will KILL Kinect sales
so a Wii price cut would do two things: increase Wii hardware sales, AND destroy Kinect sales
I'm not saying that Nintendo will cut the price of the Wii.
I'm saying that if Nintendo did cut the price of the Wii, parents would see a $ 150 Wii versus a $ 300 KInect bundle. Which one do you think they will buy? Especially in this economy. It would absolutely kill Kinect.
Personally, I think Nintendo would be dumb not to cut the price, and soon. |
Kinect could threaten at most Balance Board, but only if it were cheaper, so Nintendo could just need to cut Balance Board price and also bundle it for a total lower than $250 to maybe not kill Kinect, as it still has some unique features, despite being very expensive, but at least slow it and avoid sales damages from it.
