They just might go for the record of the first and only console that never had a price cut in its lifetime.

I hope you're kidding ;) It doesn't make sense because at some point, market saturation at a certain price will kick in. The number of people in this world is finite, and some just don't want to get a Wii for the current price.

 



My Mario Kart Wii friend code: 2707-1866-0957



It will porbably be middle to late next year

when they can't even produce enough, price cut is the last thing they think about

Use that extra profit that would otherwise be lost through price-out, and put them into "production line"

I swear to god, Nintendo can never produce enough of anything.

Nintendo is producing more than anyone else. They can't produce enough of anything because their product is very popular, not because they somehow have lesser production capacities than other companies, or because their executives are inept. They are simply at the maximum limit of production that efficiency will allow, given their current facilities. Far more units per month than say, Sony or Microsoft have produced this or any generation.


They should produce more discs if anything. G'damn.



Nothing's cheaper than something free.

F1 vs FOTA, when too much power is in couple peoples hands.

Winter 09



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Not for a long time, no one can find them still.




Nintendo still doomed?
