Lol, ok that's not bad XD OP: I didn't think so at first but I'm slowly changing my mind. Just because we're all salty about spending an extra $10 on a controller (even though we drop $150 for collectors editions, $15 a pop for DLC, and $60 a year for online multiplayer) doesn't mean your average Joe or Josephine will say no. Think about it: people basically spent $250 for Wii Sports once upon a time. This all comes down to market forces. There seems to be a demand for this thing, $300 or not. |
Yeah, but Nintendo also came outta left field with Wii and it became a cultural hit. People were willing to shell out for that because it was new, never done before, and was relatively cheap compared to a Xbox or PS3.
Can Nintendo really pull that off again with updated Wiimotes and a tablet? Average consumers know about tablets and know they can shell out $50 and get one. I don't think Nintendo will be able to pull the wool over everyones eyes this time. As far as I can tell, most of the sell outs and shortages are from scalpers. More than likely the same ones who cashed in on gold and silver colored mario amiibos.
