If Nintendo can somehow cut all their expenses and maintain this sales rate - despite not really having many titles, despite the high cost of the system, then they can point to a profit story and call that success.
I think its amazing they've maintained a higher sales rate, despite so few titles, and despite holding firm to their price point.
The machine should be $199 by now, if you ask me. They need 4 times this many titles.
So they have carved out a little niche and a profit story, and I have to hand it to them, I didn't think this niche would exist.
I still don't believe it'll exist tomorrow, I just begrudgingly admit it seems to exist today - it makes no sense to me.
Anyway....will it sink Nintendo...if the Gamecube didn't, why would Wii U?
I don't think they can endlessly do this, however. They need a hit on the next one.
