So what's your big excuse? They're stockpiling for the launch in China?
They haven't even put out a date for that, except the next Fiscal year which is between now, and NEXT MARCH. So why praytell would they be stockpiling for a launch that is at least a few months away, and at most a year away. When they haven't even refined how much they'll be producing for the coming fiscal year? If they go to 2.8, then why would stockpiling now be relevant, since they'll be producing so much more? It makes no sense. In a few months, when we actually know the date of the launch in China it will make sense, but not right now.
Also, you don't work for Nintendo, but you live in a fantasy world that Nintendo is producing millions of units per month, and "stockpiling" them so that they can sell them later. Economic states that you can only sell what you put out there. So why would they not sell as much as they can, to put more of a distance between their competition, in order to "stockpile" for a launch that they don't know when is going to happen. You should probably abandon your argument, as the lack of sense that you are making is killing your credibility. |
You know what? You're right. Nintendo doesn't stockpile. They only make about 1.2 million a month, then hit their magical "produce more" button to make four million units in December. Then they quickly turn off the turbo boosters on their assembly lines to maintain the supply shortage that they need to sell Wiis at all. http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/biz/2008/03/123_20735.html And I'm sure when they launch the Wii in Korea in May, they'll just hook up another bottle of nitrous and burn another 4 million Wiis out of the factory. |
He isn't saying they didnt stockpile. He is saying they aren't doing it right now. If they started now they would have 12-15 mil for christmas.
