and don't believe the 600 price holders remember Psvita had at one time a place holder of $1000 at gamestop.
also when reggie said it was going to be more expensive then the wii he probably ment that wii will be $149.99-$99.99 when Wii U launches and Wii U takes on a 279-349.99 price range .
nothing to worry about yet. wait til e3 . if nintendo makes that mistake then i eat my words . |
I agree more with Cheebee. From the press release I understand that Ninty will have a killer app ready at launch, and it may very well be NSMBMii, or a mario kart game out of the gate. They will nail the launch I predict, with explosive sales for the first three months, even at that price. They reason for their price strategy is simple.
Nintendo games sell Nintendo consoles, and the 3DS missed a short window of opportunity to secure a healthy userbase prior to Vita's arrival at the high price due to the abscence of system sellers at launch. Nintendo need to ensure a high price to keep a healthy curve throughout the console's lifecycle. Hence the coming WiiU high pricetag, which it is backed by system sellers at time of launch. That would explain why the lesson was learned with the 3DS only, it's because of this price strategy, which is relatively new.
The next question is, will they be able to meet demand, and will they be able to keep the momentum in terms of quality software? To the first I think there will be convenient and artificial shortages. For the second I think no, not at the start but after 6-ish months 3rd parties will begin to trickle in. The future gen is bright for Nintendo. I foresee massive success.
