Forums - Sales - Wii price cut is on in the USA & Europe

Hmmm... at £130 I might have to pick one up for September when I move into a house with some friends. Although the console isn't, let's just say, as software-thick as the others, there are still a few titles that I'd like to try, and £130 seems to be a price that warrants that (SMG 1&2, MKWii, NSMBWii, OkamiWii, Epic Mickey... as well as all the party shit for the housemates and some old Gamecube classics that I never got to play)

Hopefully this means that the PS3 price is coming down, soon... as I need to buy a replacement for my YLoD model.

Japan is where its needed the most, though.

Japan's past the point of no return.  They just need to get Cafe and DQX out there asap (which is probably spring 2012).

Its official folks. New price wars are on I think.

what do you think Wiis WW numbers will be at after this?

 

ive got my doubts of this doing any meaningful difference

 

sony will wait the longest i believe

MS can do one now and it should work well for them taking advantage of sony that will most likely do it in the fall

It will do about 130,000 in the week then drop back to the 100,000's zone I believe.



Buying in 2015: Captain toad: treasure tracker,

mario maker

new 3ds

yoshi woolly world

zelda U

majora's mask 3d

Are they gonna do like a commercial that theres a price drop?

Should definitely boost sales, done a little late IMO, but not TOO late.

I can see 250k WW weeks after this, firmly putting Nintendo up YoY, and ahead of its competitiors, if marketed correctly.

I mean, at £130 with Mario Kart and a Wii Wheel, who wouldn't buy one? even if they only end up getting Monster Hunter, Galaxy, Epic Mickey, Donkey Kong, Goldeneye etc., it'd still be a mighty fine purchase...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Wii should return to #1 in Worldwide sales until a Price Cut for PS3 or 360. In America it should be able to get a big boost...

Kinect__$150   Wii__$150

360 with Kinect__$300   Wii with 5 games__$230(Mario Kart Wii and the 4 Select games)

As I said, Wii should be able to be #1 again...if not worldwide then America but it might not happen due to lack of new games.

Exactly. This price point has certainly justified a purchase from me.

Please.... STFU!

Also, really Nintendo?

If I were a japannese even I wouldn't buy the Wii



I suck at predictions, but I'll try, WW sales only, no region breakdown:

After Wii, XB360 will receive a price cut first and PS3 last. Effects:

1) After Wii cut we could have a testicular pie between Wii and PS3, XB360 outsold by them.

2) After XB360 gets a cut too, a 3-bollocks testicular pie, Wii, PS3 and XB360 selling roughly the same.

3) After PS3 gets the cut too, PS3 first again and alone, followed by a Wii360 testicular pie.

Testicles, testicles everywhere!!!  8-O
