I actually predict wii will be last these holidays if price cut does happen. And what will happen if Vita launches this holiday too? Sony will probably be bringing lots of money. |
the more i think about it the more i think they will only drop the price by $50.
though i think they could afford to drop $100, they wont and heres why.
if they drop it by $100 this Christmas, then their margins will be around zero, and by the end of 2012, they will be making a little, but not enough to drop the price again.
i think they will want to drop the price coinciding with the wiiU launch, so more people will buy the PS3 than the expensive wiiU. so if the drop $50 this year, they will get a big price drop boost in sales, then they will drop it again by $50 in 2012 getting another boost, hurting Wii U sales.
if they dropped $100 now, they couldnt drop it at all next year
