It was probably NSMBWii. The Price cut did very little. Sales went up in the shoft term. Also, the system sold 4 million in a month. That is not usually, something price cuts and seasons would not explain.

, I know it's like talking to a brick wall, it's kinda embarssing they think NSMB did what they claim though.

Then why did Wii sales magcally jump to 4million in a slow year, still beating out last year's numbers?

Price cut, I don't care if you refuse to believe that, but that's the answer. Just like Wii jumping up massivel this holiday from such a lul summer, all those good value bundle.

All about the $$$

I respect your opinion but I think you are wrong friend.

I believe that price is a big factor when somebody buys a system but at the same time price only determines when somebody buys a system not how many people buy a system in my personal opinion. Games, Features, and Items(Such as Move or Kinect) are what sell systems not price. I am not trying to say that price doesn't matter because it does but not as much as the other things do. The 360 just got a huge boost in sales and is up a lot Y.O.Y...why? Price didn't drop even $1. It was because of Kinect. When 360 gets a Price Cut will sales go up? Yes but I don't believe it was because the price in the end...again it would be because of Kinect and 360's library of games. The people that buy 360 when its price drops were the same people who already wanted a 360 but couldn't afford one. Think about it? Why would anyone buy a system that they don't like because it just got a Price Cut? The G.C was new for $100 yet it couldn't sell for crap LOL and if it went to $50...still would be outsold buy a $200 PS2 week in and week out in the long run.

In your theory...Wii sold at huge levels during Holiday 2009 because the price went down from $250 to $200. In my theory... games sold the Wii during Holiday 2009. Yes, New Super Mario Bros. Wii sold a lot of them but so did Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, Mario Kart Wii and others. In the end games sell systems not price...but price does determine however when people actually buy them.

For example(In theory) Say I have been thinking about buying a 360 since January 2010. The price is currently $300 and $200. I think that $300 and $200 is way too high for a 360(by its model) as I am only interested in 10 games so I decide to wait. 2010 comes and goes and its still $300 and $200 so I still don't own a 360. In April 2011 360 gets a Price Cut to $200 and $100...Great! I then buy a 360. Why? I bought a 360 because its library of games interest me and now its my price. 

Now lets take the DS. I don't see any games that interest me at all(Maybe 1 or 2) and the price is currently $170. About 1 year later DS gets a Price Cut to $130...do I buy one...NO! The next year a new DS Model comes out and the old DS drops to $50! Now do I buy one? NO! You see even if the DS gets to a very low price it still doesn't mean I will buy one unless its games and features interest me.

My point is IMO Price doesn't determine how much a system sells...the games, Items, and features(Yes Motion control too) do.

As I said in the post right after yours...

IMO Price doesn't determine system sales but the games, Items, and features do. Yes this includes Motion controls. Price helps determine when a system sells but not how much a system sells in the end.

No offense but I don't think you know what you're talking about or have a clue about the industry and how sales work.

I think he's right

Price didn't move me to buy a Wii, it was the games, the reason I don't care about Kinect or Move, is the lack of games

me, me ,me, I don't care what drove you or anyone else here to buy a Wii. I bought a 360 for Oblivion, did Oblivion sell 5 mill 360's? fuck no did it.

Why would I take offense to that LOL? Its only an opinion and I respect your opinion.

Like I said though...If the Gamecube was $50 and the PS2 was $200 PS2 would still have outsold  it because of its games even though G.C is 25% of the PS2 price. Yes, I agree the Price Cut in 2009 helped the Wii sell a lot more during the Holiday's but in the end the Wii still would have sold the same amount lifetime if it didn't have a Price Cut in 2009. Say the Price Cut was in 2010 instead of 2009. Wii sales in 2010 would be huge and 2009's wouldn't be as big. Overall the sales would have evened out and been the same in the end.
