lol... 199 was not the reason why the Wii was successful. |
Nintendo actually kept the Wii above the $199 USD price point for a longer period than Sony kept the PS2 above $199.
in addition,
Sony sold around 11 Million PS2s in the NA region before it dropped to $199, it ended up selling 50 Million plus there.
So close to 80% of PS2 sold in that region were sold for $199 or less.
to compare,
Nintendo sold ~26 Million Wii in the America region before it dropped to $199, it ended up selling 48 Million plus there.
So less than 50% of Wii sold in that region were sold for $199 or less.
