Seece, give up, these people don't want to hear such things. NSMBWii is responsible for every single hardware sale the last year and-a half and price doesn't matter etc.

, I know it's like talking to a brick wall, it's kinda embarssing they think NSMB did what they claim though.

Then why did Wii sales magcally jump to 4million in a slow year, still beating out last year's numbers?

Price cut, I don't care if you refuse to believe that, but that's the answer. Just like Wii jumping up massivel this holiday from such a lul summer, all those good value bundle.

All about the $$$

As I said in the post right after yours...

IMO Price doesn't determine system sales but the games, Items, and features do. Yes this includes Motion controls. Price helps determine when a system sells but not how much a system sells in the end.

No offense but I don't think you know what you're talking about or have a clue about the industry and how sales work.


I think he's right

Price didn't move me to buy a Wii, it was the games, the reason I don't care about Kinect or Move, is the lack of games

So the 600$ pricetag was of no hindrance to the PS3 when it launched? Surely, you must be joking. Price is important, that or good value bundles and it is certainly a big part of the puzzle. Software, peripherals, advertising and price are the four cornerstones of marketing and hardware sales and out of all those, price and software are probably tied for first. A 200$ console with a few good games would seem more enticing to an average customer than a 400$ console with lots of good games. When you're selling to the mainstream market, do you think everyone who buys a console knows the extent of the game library on said console? They don't, let me assure you. Do they all see the price tag and consider whether it is affordable or not? Yes, everyone does.

I waited about two years before I got a single console this generation. Why? They were too costly. Cheaper product = more demand is the most base of logic concerning sales of any and all things in this world. Why is it that Nintendo fans, in particular, are loathe to realize this? I just don't understand it.

Exactly...but you wanted one from the beginning didn't you?
