People see the crazy sales that pricuts and new SKUs like PS3 slim had and goes "wow! look at that sale increase! pricecuts work!". But it's not 100% real.

For the PS3 slim a large % of this sales increase are due to the people that were holding on buying a PS3 in the past weeks/months for this release.

For 1 week or 1 month it may be a huge change, but if you calculate it in the long term, say 6 months, the sales increase spike is so much smaller...

I hate how analysts keep pushing for price cuts, instead of forecasting they are just saying what they want and delaying sales in the process, even if Nintendo does a price cut, it will be next year, Christmas its at least 2million sales for sure, price cutting is just wasting money, and the Wii is still the best console in overall quality and price,

Wrong on 2 levels, sir. 1: The people who even know this guy pachter exists are such a small minority that the ones who don't own a Wii and would consider getting one are so insignificant that no difference whatsoever would be made. Second of all, the Wii is not the best console in terms of quality.

quality is a pretty relativistic term.

The hardware quality of the Wii is easily #1, nothing is built like Nintendo products.

MANY people would argue that there are higher quality games on Wii than PS3 or 360, many will argue otherwise as well.

If you determine "quality" by performance than of course PS3 and 360 have better quality. but who says that. Do you brag about your Pc being "higher quality" than your friends? no.. you say "my system is more pwoerful".
