That really depends on the buyer, doesn't it? Some people won't be able to impulse buy a Wii because the product won't be on the shelf when they're in the store. Others will find one on the shelf and buy it on impulse because they know they might not get another chance. They might have considered their purchase more carefully if supply was plentiful. Some potential buyers will be put off by all the competition to buy Wiis. They won't be bothered to pay above retail prices or line up on a Sunday morning to get one. Others might be excited by the scarcity and enjoy telling stories about how they staked out a retailer for hours to get a Wii. It's hard to know how all this plays out in the aggregate market. It would be an interesting and challenging thing to research. |
True. I agree too that it would definitely be a challenge to do the research for that as well. It still surprises me sometimes that I can be in the game selection at Meijer's, for example, and STILL not glimpse a Wii console.
The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!
...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
