I see many predictions for Wii market resistence heading into 2009.

The question I pose is: "How could Nintendo best address this?"

I think the best plan would be to make a new SKU(over used gaming acronym). Perhaps a Wii Premium that would have alot of the tech some wish it had now (HD output, movie playback, high quality streaming capabilites, more storage, etc). This would make perfect sense since at the time resistence hits the technology would be cheap enough to implement and maintain it's attractive price point. Also the original Wii's price point could be dropped to 129 (DSL levels) for further market exploitation.

 

What do you think nintendo should do?


 Nothing, just keep releasing good games
