Forums - Sales - Will a Wii PRICE CUT Have a "BIG" Effect (like PS3's/360's)?!

It would help, but not as much as the PS3 cut, or even the 360 cut. I'm sure many people who buy a Wii have no idea how much it costs until they walk into the store.

I don't get why you'd think that.  The Wii is the only current console without multiple SKU's and with the same price for almost 3 years now.  Why wouldn't people who go to purchase it know its price?

OT: Yes.  The Wii is the console with the highest quantity demanded.  It makes sense that more people would be willing to buy it at a lower price.

Seeing the title made me think you might be channeling Crazzyman ... :)))

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

People are perfectly willing to buy it at its current price. They bought it at double launch price on eBay in holiday 2006. I don't think there's anough pent up demand, really.

It won't help, because price cuts don't help.

The PS3 price cut might sell an additional 2 million units this year, and maybe a half million more next year. The 360 price cut will probably be about the same.



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.
