Gc launched 30% cheaper than the others and pricedroped much faster or you want to pretend it released together and? And the dates you put were when the pricecuts happened or just generic dates? I have trouble believing they all cut prices in the same month all the time.

 

Besides that WiiU launched 1 year earlier than ps4X1 and 25% / 40% cheaper than them and were decimated nonetheless.


It's hard to post links on this phone, but those are the actual dates of their price cuts. It released the same month as Xbox so ur whole, "it price dropped much faster" is false. And what do u mean at the same time all the time? The only time they all received a price cut at the same time was May 2002 when PS2 got a price cut and the others responded. I'm also not sure what ur last sentence has to do with anything that I have said.

Why can't u just admit ur initial statement i quoted was wrong and GC was only $50 cheaper for the majority of its life cycle?


The gap between the launch of ps2 and gc was big so they having the cut at the same time shows gc dropped faster even though being 100 (33%) cheaper. That didn't help it against ps2 and not even against the newcomer Xbox.

 

And the second line is about WiiU. Because of the claims that it is obvious that if it was much cheaper than others it would outsell them. They lost to x1 even though being 200 (40%) cheaper and x1 coming from hell PR And 1 year later. So it seems Nintendo problem isn't the price of their hw. Selling WiiU for 200 ir even 100 wouldn't make it the best selling ever.
