It's not about increasing demand, rather about keeping it level. It seems obvious that these stockpiling theories are bunk, so what's left? A product that is hard to get will gain a certain repute and image and demand will remain relatively high, whereas a product that is readily available and never sells out doesn't stand out compared to competition. As it stands; we don't know Wii demand and Nintendo don't know, and I think that's how they want it and will keep it for a while. If you can keep demand up to ensure equal levels of revenue a lot longer rather than make quick profits and saturate the market, then that's what you'll do. Shareholders and investors are not overly fond of quick cash, it has a tendency to not last, shareholders want a steady and stable stream of income so they can plan soundly for extended periods. How is that foolish? Edit: ^^ who mentioned increasing demand, I never wrote that? |
Yes, if you put it this way it sounds reasonable. I'm not believing that it is happening actually, but it might be possible.
