And many casuals just werent aware of Kinect and Move yet. The more time, the more time they try at friends house (remember the majority of Kinects and Moves bought were not used until December 25th). The more time that goes by the more others will be exposed to Kinect and Move. Not to mention that all the deals the Wii received were during the holiday buying season. Those special deals drove a lot of extra sales. The press I am talking about is not gaming press I am talking about the mainstream press and the mainstream press was good to Nintendo. Now they are saying Kinect out Wii's the Wii.
3. Last summer Wii had Super Mario Galaxy 2 and dont give me crap that wasnt high profile software. JRPGs arent going to move much Wii hardware. In Japan maybe a little, but Japan is where Wii is tailing off the most. Was down like 50% in Japan in December YoY.
As for pricing Nintendo is going to go for profit before selling a couple of million more and they arent going to sell the Wii for $99 with 2 pieces of software free.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
