I remember last summer the prices really came down as supply improved. Of course that all went out the window by November and it was back to low supply.

I just regret not buying Nintendo shares. Damn it, they shot up like Google over the last 3 years



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I really don't think it's the supply side though. Demand during the Christmas holiday is what seems to drive up prices. This is exactly what happened last summer...

This reminds me of the time i sold my launch PS3 on eBay for 1700 dollars. What a great feeling. At the time I had a wii and was perfectly content in waiting for PS3 to drop price. It did and ive lived happily ever after since that price drop. And i netted like 1100 dollars from the whole adventure.

Do you actually have a real job?

Yes, two actually. I am a teller at a bank, and I work part time at Gamestop.

 

so... that's why people are waiting forever for Wii, because people at Gamestop make their profit by putting them on eBay.

 

How lovely.

 

And here's my disclaimer:

I don't care that you are doing this. but you are doing this because you work for a Gamestop and using your position to gain access to those console, while your own customers waiting for months for their units.

There's nothing wrong with making profit, but you are abusing your right and you should get fired for it.

and I'm supposed to believe him when I see, what? 11 Wiis he sold?

Any person working at an electric retailer (like myself, working for Bestbuy) can tell you that Wii's shipment does not come regularly and follows NO SET DATE.

I don't believe for a second he got any of them from another retailer.
