| gossomer said: Only way they get to the 17.5M shipments this year is with a price cut to $150.. probably at end of October. Nintendo is on death's door at the moment... reduced forecast from 210M in earnings to 90M. They will likely languish until the release of the next Wii in CY12 and that may be too late. Nintendo should have had the next NDS out last year and the new Wii this year and they could have maintained momentum... |
I think death's door is a bit too extreme even for a company whose business is solely games and gaming consoles. Anyways Ninty isn't dumb, the 3DS timing was alright considering how strong the DS still is.
The Wii-2 could be another story, though. It would be too risky of a gamble to wait until 2012, so I hope Ninty is any smart and releases it by the end of the next year.
