so advertising and BRANDING doesn't matter to consumers, yet ps3 will do well because of the playstation and sony BRAND?


almost no electronic device is sold out anymore because 90% of electronic devices are sold by multiple manufacturers...the wii has no direct substitute and its demand is sky high

u don't know about what's going on behind the scenes...it could be that for one of the manufacturers of one of the chips in the wii that manufacturer is near capacity and will have to open a new plant to make another 1mil/month for Nintendo to increase to 2.8mil/month...and for that they will charge much more, raising the cost of the wii to more than 250/console

perhaps that is happening with multiple manufacturers to where it would cost them 400/console to produce if they ramped up production to 3mil/month right now...we just don't know

sure u can get anything with enough money, but do u really expect them to go from making 50*1.8mil/month profit to losing 200*1mil/month? not a wise business move



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. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)
