I have never noticed what you said on the matter. What do you think lifetime wii sales are going to be? You think the wii will go down to 99 in 2014?

i'm thinking strategically or on the level Sony should have been thinking with PS2.

i tell yall all the time i'm a business major so with that i have a marketing strategy for near eveerything.

while i don't want to water down the product i don't want to give in to profit to soon.


LOL, no offense but you don't really show strong signs of that.

well you should see my work in action. they've been small things but they help. look major is the key word here. its a process of learnning. at this point i wouldn't claim to beable to run an empire, but a small business or a Assitant store manager yea; i would claim that.

you really seem to be killing me this wk!

realistically Wii shouldn't last no more then 2 yrs and, so 2013 should be the cut off period for the product. i don't always say wht i think. sometimes i give an overly ambitious guess.

I would say that it would just help the sales so they don't decline quite as fast. Will it lead to a sales spike? No. The demand simply isn't as high for them anymore.

In regards to when it will drop, there really is absolutely no reason to hurry. The next cheapest console is $199. I don't really see somebody who wants a Wii to consider a 360 Arcade anyways, they are just plain different.

If they drop their prices by next year, all they are doing is losing themselves a shitload of profit they could have. Which, based on the way Nintendo has been running their company in the very recent past, they may very well do this then.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

It'll continue to decline, because at that point it'll have hardly any games coming out for it at all.

If you thought this year was bad wait till next year.

agreed



it won't at all stop the decline, just one last sales peak before a moderately quick drop




At that point there will likely be barely any new software. a low price point helps hardware, but the main factor is amount of quality software coming out for the product. Even if price is dropped sometime next year I don't see enough software being announced that will keep its sales much over 100,000 a week WW. After the holidays this year I think we will see Wii sales plumit even further as they prepare the Wii U launch.

So am I ! But I never used it, and got all C grades so I remember little of it..What a waste for me, if only a could find a job to use these skills before I totally forget them. Accounting.....brain dumped, even though I would have loved to know that part. Business law was a 2000 page book..

fk'n wow! 2000 page book? i had balanced grades when i was in college, but i new drafting wasn't my thing so with that degree i i'll be going back for organisational managment. i should have changed my major when i had the chance.

i know how to build a house, but hiring is the problem. i've designed cars, but i'm in the wrong state(all covered in the feildof drafting). there seems to always be a down side to my abilities but everybody needs a business major right?

i new i wanted to be a business major when i was in Florida working n a restaurants.

math was always a strong point in my education, even when i was bad at it lol. i would also like to learn something in technology other then drafting so business tech is something i'm considering aswell. hell i may stay in school forever just to learn as much as i can in the feild of business.

It's precisely this maximazing profits strategy which lead 3DS into the point it is today.

It might as well be $99 when EB games trade in offer on the Wii is $35.

That seems to be said every year though. Although I have to admit that there was hardly nothing this year.


The Wii has already a large library of good games. So everyone who buys a wii now don't need new games.

Besides in europe we got two big Wii titles in 2011 until now: Kirbys Epic Yarn and Xenoblade Chronicles. And we will get Zelda and the new Kirby game later this year. It is truly the worst year of the Wii gameswise, but has a few very good games that makes some people buy the wii (zelda and xenoblade).



Now that Wii U is likely coming in 2013 with all the bad rumors about it, $99 Wii may do more than it would have done.
