it is not like there was an Elite price drop to compete with the PS3 slim ...

You clearly don't know how to read.

"TOKYO, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Nintendo Co Ltd (7974.OS) reported a 59 percent decline in first-half profit on Thursday, hurt by sluggish demand for its flagship Wii videogame console and the strong yen, and it slashed its full-year forecast."

It has nothing to do with the price drop, and everything to do with the situation before it.

Lets just wait for the next NPD if theres boost of hardware sales on pricecut and not because of holiday months sales. But in the article they cut their operating forecast which means Nintendo could hold off shipment numbers too. Like I say 400,000-500,000 isnt enough especially in holiday months. The October NPD 2008 chart sell Wiis in 800,000 I know especially with the pricecut that Nintendo could easily surpassed the sales of 400,000-500,000 Wiis a month. Are they? I had to admit even with the pricecut and everything if the Wiis are selling only 400,000-500,000 in October of this year I will be depressed. You should be depressed too...


If you dont want to see Nintendo in a way of SEGA and they just developing handheld consoles then pray that the pricecut will work for them, and Wiis are selling only because of holiday months. Just remember, the Wii sells 467,000 in month of September without the price cut. If the Wii sell for that number in October even witht he pricecut then the pricecut didnt work.

Why wait?　This should be enough to allay your fears. Sales in America for two weeks during October: http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons[]=Wii®[]=America&start=40097&end=40104

Sales for two weeks in September: http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons[]=Wii®[]=America&start=40069&end=40076

How many times do you need to have this spelled out for you: there is no forthcoming disaster.

Do you understand, even a little, how it's possible to regard you as a troll? You don't even use the features of the site you're on to get your questions answered.

Edit: Here are sales for two weeks in Oct. '08: http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons[]=Wii&reg[]=America&start=39733&end=39740

See, I'm making it easy for you, just like they do in "special" class at school.

And once again, you also use 2008, the known best year for gaming, as if everything that doesn't come close means it's a failure. You just bend and shape figures so you can keep up your claim. You should go work in marketing or as a politician. It's what you do best and no one would believe you still.

so only 365, 392 in the 3rd week of month of October even with the pricecut? What do you want to prove? it only proves my point more... And i thought Wiis could atleast sell atleast 600,000 or over 600,000 and thats me not over optimistic. I didnt even say if the Wiis could surpassed their last 2008 NPD here. its more depressing than I thought. This is the holiday months BTW which naturally consoles are doubled all the time whether what console it is than their average sales. Except for PS3 but this time it changed...

Wii sold only 10K more during a comparable period last year. But then again, you're a fuckwit and nothing can be explained to you, even if it is done slowly and nicely.

Don't you think I know that? But I couldn't help but point out how ... well how Yushire doesn't know a whole lot about the subject if he thought a price drop COULD increase profits. I didn't wanna go into what you just did because he has a tendency to say that such and such is spin or that other people have no valid point or don't make sense.

It's ridiculous but I wanted to point it out. You haven't been here long if you thought I'd make that kind of mistake.

No, I realized afterwards. Probably should have edited my post to reflect it.

I've been here since last year, just haven't felt the need to post much...

:D Nice being here anyway!
