| NinjabreadMan said: Surprisingly enough I own a Wii. Most people have read only my original post, which i'll admit wasn't a very good statement of how it is. Still, my main gripe is with no intention of reducing the price over time like the traditional model of console business. It's true that this can be done to stimulate sales when demand falls, and demand for Wii certainly hasn't fallen. Was the model for the Wii designed around a potential low sale scenario? It could be this, and thus would allow Nintendo to still make a sizeable profit despite low numbers, ala GC. I'd be interested in knowing exactly how much Nintendo makes on each console sold, and whether or not the manufacturing costs have fallen very much since launch. |
You still don't get it, do you? There is no sales model that suggests price drops durig high demand. Doing so is corporate suicide. You're investors will bail out and your stock will tank. Do I seriously need to explain this to you?
You mentioned GC in tha they remained profitable despite low sales. Guess what, GC got price drops. Do you know why? Because it sold poorly. To entice more demand, push stock out the door, get retailers to buy units...you cut the price. If demand is already up, if stock is already going out the door, if retailers are already buying units, you don't cut prices.
Forget it, you're just trolling and regardless of how much we tell you, I could write and MBA thesis on the subject matter and you'd still gripe, moan and complain that Nintendo should drop their price.
