Should we be more like you, and claim to not care while still posting in every Malstrom thread made on this site?

well i posted on the threads to ask who the hell is he.

now i know, i don't see why you guys give a damn about him really, alot of discussions and following his words. 

now everything he says you guys agree.

This would be far more mildly at least a tad more plausible were this the first time you've pulled this exact same dog and pony show. As it is, I don't think I'm exaggerating much when I say that you've probably posted in more Malstrom threads than I have recently.

He summed up what I though. One thing I didn't think was that people will now expect price drops. Expecting future price cuts will make buyers demand less (Econ 101)



Malstrom is an asshole on this one

Wii is not in danger but acting like if it was in perfect shape and that people were still in full love of the product (despite no big release during month and the fact that Wii sport resort



Time to Work !

I think if they are doing this, the other systems are not the reason. I say it's because they determined that the first 50 million buys were considering the Wii good at that value, but the next 50 million might want it lower.

And I mean that in terms of the blue ocean. Even the mainstream companies have found they need to adjust prices at some point to reach larger parts of the mainstream.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Why shouldn't consumers expect a price cut? Unlike portables, these hardware companies make a fortune off controllers/accessories/etc. off the console side to boot. Don't tell me Nintendo is donating all that money from $20 nunchakus (that probably cost $2 to make) and $20 Wii Motion Plus' to charity.

There has never been and never will be a console that never drops in price. 

Even the NES which had like 95% market share still had price drops.

 Heheh, fair enough.



I think people need to get over the idea that Nintendo is some how married to Blue Ocean as well.

Nintendo isn't married to anything. Blue Ocean is not their wife, it's more like their f*ck buddy ... sure they enjoy her company, and she's good to them, but it's not an exclusive relationship, nor did they ever promise it was.

Nintendo will do whatever they feel is in their best interest at any given time.



I haven't even bothered reading past the first page, so forgive me anyone who this doesn't apply to. But can you please, please stop focusing on who's writing what so much?

I get it, Malstrom isn't always right, and no he isn't always nice and cuddly, but are we so brainwashed that it only takes a couple of words you disagree with to automatically disregard everything else? You disagree with the points being made? Then go ahead and say why, don't just focus on the person. That's dumb, I'm sorry. You're not gonna be seeing much of value in front of your face, unless it's spoon fed to you, which is always crap to some degree. Come on now, quit being such sheep for bit. My goodness, I'm getting fucking tired of some of you people.

It's one thing to criticize, but some of those statements are outlandish and deserve an outlandish response. 

It's like some idiot on the internet telling Kobe Bryant what's wrong with his jump shot.
