you and that someone are mostly wrong. it probably cost more to produce the wii u now than they were expecting because of such slow sales. Also, like yakuzaice stated, look at ps3. the reason they keep increase hdd size is because smaller ones get more expensiv. they had to take out BC, memory card readers, glossy/chrome paint, usb slots justto cut price initially. then the bluray diode became cheaper to produce, andthe rsx and cell started making progress in shrinking them. which allowed sony to cut cost with the slim even further. Nintendo doesnt have much of those luxury on the wii u. it will not fall in costs as fast as you think. |
That's doesn't make any sense that the wii u is more expensive to produce now than before as time pass ...as in all electronics as things get older the price decreases because the electronic equipment used becomes outdated or there is a better replacement ...example blu Ray is much cheaper now because the components are less expensive to produce ....why do you think companies use price cuts at certain times because production cost are lower the wii u cut it's price from 350 to 300 because production cost went down a little so it allowed them to cut the price and because they can make up the lost on software ....you are forgetting console sales plays a small part in the bigger picture it's the software that matters ....the wii u can only have 6,000,000 consoles but if one console owner buys 4 or 5 pieces of software ....nintendo makes a profit ...
