Forums - Sales - Nintendo raises Wii price in the UK

finalsquall on 11 March 2009

Maybe this is why Sony has not made a price drop. They just keep it the same price until things ease. Maybe M$ move might back fire on them. This is the first time I have heard of price increase on a console.

End of 2011 Sales: Wii = 90mil, 360 = 61mil, PS3= 60mil

The pound is doing worse than I thought, maybe it's time to switch to the euro?
Anyway, I don't think this will influence the Wii sales that much.

 

I'm not British, but i'm sure the thought of switching to the euro makes any Brit reading this sick. Hell it kinda makes me sick.

 

 

actually i dont really mind the euro, it makes sense to have one european currency imo, no need for all that exchange rate stuff, makes money easier to understand when you go to europe

Have some pride, man

 

You should want the rest of Europe adopt the Pound before England adopts the euro. I sure as hell would not want America using the Loonie or Peso.

pride in what? a currency, thats kind of lame imo, its just what you use to buy stuff, as long as i have enough currency to buy what i need, why should i care what said currency is?

I agree, I would rather change too the Euro.

I can have pride in my work, family, friends... I don't see the point of pride in a country, even if it weren't a country currently in the sink, only a plug pull away from going down the drain.

wtf?!? released in 2006 and in 2009 they raise the price??? I'l be surprised if this doesn't greatly affect hardware sales as people will try and wait it out till a price drop. The sting will also be made worse when VAT rates bounce back up.

Ha.. indeed.
although all 3 major (if Lib Dem can be called that) parties are starting to merge into one mindset in my eyes. For the most part, whichever party is ruling the decisions made will be very similar, especially considering the majority of local governments seem to be Tory anyway.
