Why spend marketing money when word of mouth is doing the job? Spend marketing money when the competition is actually out lol. |
My point is another: killing DSi XL to give 3DS its sales isn't such a good idea, selling well both is possible and it would give both HW and SW higher sales, a win-win scenario. About spending on marketing, Ninty must pay also bad one, so it totally makes sense to produce good one instead. I don't think TV networks are airing those ads for free or at a strong discount because they are so bad. About PSVita, I didn't even consider it, this is all about Nintendo marketing and internal policies and strategies, lately it looks like Ninty thinks it must necessarily kill an old product that still sells well to be able to sell well a new one, this is plain masochistic.
