Sky Render on 02 May 2008
You've rather missed the context entirely, NinjabreadMan. Satoru Iwata is implying that the Wii and DS need to maintain a perceived value of their existing prices, thus not necessitating a price drop at all. They are bypassing the traditional model of lowering system costs entirely in the process. And in the long run, this will work fine, as currency naturally experiences inflation in value over time (meaning that while the price tag remains the same, the Wii ultimately will cost less in 2009 than it did in 2006 in terms of the actual value of the currency used to pay for the product).
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
