| Viper1 said: I think you're still slightly missing the point. It's not about how much you or I think it will cost, it's about how different the exchange rate has changes since 2006. This means we have to change our way of thinking how a console can and will be priced. To be more specific, anything Japanese will have to sell at a far hgiehr price in foreign markets now than they did in 2006 to make the same margins (profit and loss).
Go back to what I posted at the Wii. That's a huge difference. That means if the Wii were to launched today instead of in 2006, it would have to cost $320 in the US to make the same amount of profit or loss as it did back in 2006. Launching it now at $250 (liek they did in 2006) would mean they take a $70 loss on every Wii sold in the US. Do you see how that impacts the pricing now? |
Ok, this is what I thought you meant first. I get it.
So let's say it's made for $500 and sold for $400. What would the price be for Japan, still keeping the loss at $100?
