1. I see retailers clamouring, even begging Nintendo constantly for supplies. Constantly. Every day of the week. Cause they know they will sell out. 2. If Nintendo even spends one dollar on warehousing a wii that they could have sold no problem within the day, I hope shareholders fire every single nintendo exec because they are wasting money. |
1. Which is exactly the reason numbers vary: Nintendo doesn´t ship the same amount of units every week and sometimes shipments are bigger, sometimes not. And believe me what I said about shops stockpiling is true.
2. That´s why you are not in such a position - stockpiling may be expensive (relatively at least) but profits during christmas periods make more than up for it and as I said, software only sells to new consumers if hardware is available. shareholders would kill those execs you mentioned if they wouldn´t put out a lot of hardware during big releases. By the way, a lot of companies do stockpile - do you think the Playstation 2 would´ve sold 2.5 million units during Christmas in the US alone if neither Sony nor retailers did stockpile?
