Nintendo can, whenever they feel is necessary, lower the pricepoint of the Wii...

Why?! Because Nintendo earns money for every system sold. In comparison: Sony losses 200 US$ for every sold PS3.

At the moment, sales of Wii are going VERY GOOD! With 6.6 mil worldwide and waiting for NPD March figures (Wii could reach 7 mil within a few days).... In comparison, PS3 has (only?!) sold 3.15 million units... Which, in comparison, is not much.

However, i'm convinced (well, not convinced but i'd guess PS3 will pick up in sales in and after the holiday season of 07) But Nintendo has some nice games coming too, and will the gap be Too Great to close?!

If/When PS3 sales pick up in speed however, Nintendo has ONE BIG trumpcard, pricepoint.

They could lower price to 200 US$ whenever they want. And if Sony decides to lower PS3 premium to 500 US$ They are starting a pricewar they can't win...

Sony fans are saying, wait for PS3 to lower in price, the point is; Sony will lose MORE money per sold PS3 unit and Nintendo could react ANYTIME, even to a point of 150 US$, which 'theoratically' makes Wii invincible (ow wouldn't that day be nice!)...

So, Nintendo could still deliver Sony a killer blow, even when PS3 sales were to pick up in speed...

 

What are your thoughts?

 

 

 

Edit: I'd like to see what HUS has to say about this (Plz, not some stupid answer like: PS3 is better, no matter what and then give the argument 'You'll see')...


you really are a kiddy joke.

they will cut their profits in half just because sony cuts the PS3 price by a 100 or even 200

... the 360 Core is $300 you dont see Nin cutting price do you. A $400 Ps3 is still alot more then the kiddy toy.

its nice you Nin fanboys got to come out of the closet after 12 years of getting owned but it wont last.

 

 

 

 

 


That last part right there, guess i was right...

'Edit: I'd like to see what HUS has to say about this (Plz, not some stupid answer like: PS3 is better, no matter what and then give the argument 'You'll see')...''

Thats just what i thought you'd say, not giving any facts to strenghten your arguments...

what question you ignorant child.

 this thread is beyond stupid.

 360 is at $300 now, yet a eventual PS3 price cut will drive Nin to cut the Wii price.....

 now as in if the price of its rival mattered so much to Nin they would be cutting wii price due to the $300 xbox.

speaking of market share. 

Nintendo is number one software house in japan since ever...and second worldwide.

they own portable market since ever.

all in gamers community recognize this...

sony and microsoft as software house can't compare with Nintendo.

 Nintendo offers the best in software/hardware.

sony and microsoft without well paid third and second parties are nothing.

Nintendo in their "dark age" alone without third party support made games like mario64 and Ocarina of time considered masterpieces in game history!!!!


also look about ratio between games and console for psp...

if ps3 comes in similar numbers...ouch!!

nintendo could care less what other companies are doing if they are selling out their supply.

Here Hus, let me rewrite this post for you.

Hus - I really don't see it happening that way.

regardless of a PS3 price cut, I don't see why Nintendo would want to forfeight so much profit.

... the 360 Core is $300 and Nintendo hasn't cut it's price over that. And even after significant price cuts, a $400 Ps3 is still a lot more than the Wii

 See Hus, by removing the stupid flamebait, you're able to say what you want to say, and have people actually pay attention to your points. Neat how that works isn't it?

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
