Forums - Nintendo - Price hike Wii Germany - almost sold out

Just came back from Xmas shopping. Passed by a large electronics store in Frankfurt (Saturn) which used to have stacks ofs Wiis lying around, selling for 250 Euro. Today a different sight: 10 Wiis left, selling at a retail price of 270 Euro. So, no price drop but rather increase in price. I was shocked - almost sold out and that at a higher pricetag. Welcome to December.

Not surprising. It is the Wii.

It could be worse. There could be none and you'd be forced to buy one from an auction site for €450.

I agree that was uncalled for and his gaming orientation has nothing to do with the statement.

Honestly, he is right they should increase the price to 299 they probably would not lose more than a few hundred thousand in sales but the increased profit would be well worth it.



Price hikes at christmas time is pretty bad PR. I know I'd be offended for being gouged because I chose the wrong time of year to buy.

Just be glad Nintendo isn't price fixing in Europe to rip off customers like they did before.
