Also, its not always about selling the most amount of units, its also about how much Nintendo will make per unit. So if Nintendo lowers it down to $200 and they are making -$100 per console vs breaking even with a $300 price point, then I think they are better off with $300 cause if the lose $100 per console, they have to sell that same person at least 3 retail physical games in order to break even (correct me if I am wrong) vs if they break even on $300, they can just make money from software sales |
Hmm, it might help sway some that like only a select few titles. I see what you mean though, it prob wouldn't move that many units in the long run. As for the second point, don't consoles usually get cheaper in their life cycle due to cheaper manufacturing cost or a change to some diff form factor? I could be completely off though. A cheaper price would most likely get more consoles out there even if they are taking a lost. More consoles=more software sold? I think the most important thing is actually getting consoles out there. A price cut to $200 seems to be unlikely at this point though unless wii u sales continue to tank.
