| DSLover said: One of the main reasons for the wii's success is price. That is undeniable. If wii cost $300 then it would definitely have sold less, price is not the only factor ofc but it is an important one. |
actually, no it isn't undeniable
wii is still sold out so we don't know what demand is, nor do we know what the demand is at each price point
i believe it still would have sold out at $300...those that wanted a wii wanted one because of the wiimote, wii sports, not the price
just look at the million+ wiis sold for $350+ on ebay/craigslist in the past 14.5 months
price is NOT one of the top 3 factors in why the wii sells so well and the wii still woulda sold 20mil in 13.5 months at $300
Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08. Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could.
