he lives in a bubble and dreams of his version of the outside world.....i hope i am around when he wakes up and the bubble pops so he can see the world as it truly is

the wii will get a price cut only when one of 2 things happen

1. sales drop Significantly world wide (i'm talking 75% or so)
2. price cuts for the main ps3 and 360 consoles equal the wii in price. (ie 250 bucks for the 40gig ps3 and the 360 with hard drive)

Bruce reminds me of Michael Pachter without the intelligence, charm, or ability to occasionally get things right.

Don't be so hard on him guys, it could happen. It's perfectly reasonable that Nintendo would decide that they no longer want profits.

twesterm said: I use to think that Bruce was some hip 25 year old douche that thought he could only shit gold but after seeing this: his idiocy is suddenly starting to become more and more clear. He's the 40+ guy that's trying to stay hip but really doesn't know what the Hell he's talking about. And of course he still thinks controversy means more hits which means more respect.

All I knew them for was Game Genie and finding ways to get around Nintendo's offical liscensing of it's games so people could make Bible Games and not pay Nintendo royalties.

Basically codemasters were the asses of the gaming world then... so... eh yeah your probably right. 

Thanks for posting this Sqrl. 

What blows my mind is how some points are bang on, just misinterpreted with so much wishful thinking. I've numbered them for easy rebuttal. 

1. This is certainly true. Nintendo has plenty of room for a price drop.

2. The problem with this is that they're ramping up production over the summer. Most of these added units won't go directly to store shelves, they'll be stockpiled so that Nintendo can actually meet, or at least come closer to meeting, holiday demand. If they need to cut price to move those 25 million per month, they'll do it in the new year, not this year. Just like Iwata says.

3. Another person who isn't paying attention and doesn't realize that there will be at least 3 sizable new first party games scheduled for Wii in between E3 and Christmas. I believe the memo said Disaster, Kirby, and Animal Crossing, but one of them might get delayed, we are talking about Nintendo here.

 4. Ummm, no. Halo 3 didn't even make Wii blink. 360's parade of AAA megahits in 2007 didn't slow it down at all. GTA is the biggest yet, and will be a surge for HD consoles, but Wii won't even notice. Wishful thinking that fanboys get to recycle for every major HD release.

5. This is predicated on the assumption that Nintendo won't sell all the units it can manufacture. I re-affirm that Nintendo will sell all of their increased production over the holidays. 

6. The marketplace does not agree with you, or 360 wouldn't be selling in last place now. They aren't your clones, and they have their own ideas about the value represented by the Wii and the 360. The best way to be a terrible analyst is to assume that everybody thinks the way you do.

Wii won't get a price cut, It will sell strong enough till the end of nintendo's fiancial year.

The Wii does not need a price cut, Its selling like crazy everwhere!

the only time when the wii does need a price cut is when they're not selling like they are today but for now, no price cut needed
