Yea they could do that, meanwhile in the 360 and PS3 side we'll keep their "crappy" Yakuza and Bayonetta (even with the mediocre port it still scored high rofl). :)

Why not? Obviously he knows more than we do about this ...

Go play Sunshine and then Galaxy. Do you even own a Wii?

But yeah, everyone knows that SEGA does what NINTENDON'T.

Including go out of business? :D

What beef up the Wii's cost is mostly the disc drive. It's a custom made mini disc/large disc drive with protection.

Also they've been using the same manufacturing process since launch because of the supply issue, which means they couldn't cost reduce very much. Likely their profit has grown but not by much. At launch it was ~ 49 dollars in the US, 73 dollars in Europe and 12 dollars in Japan, with each unit sold not counting marketing.

With marketing, which is how most companies count profit, the Wii was at about $6 per unit. Late 2009 they adjusted their manufacturing to 65nm finally(it had been 90nm since 2006 due to supply issues). Which means they dropped cost a little, which allowed them to pricedrop without losing money or too much profit.

" I think one of the big things that we found out is it really is a mass market product where mom or whoever goes out, the 80% of the people out there who go out and buy a Wii box are happy with Wii Sports and they don’t really need another game. Or if they do need another game, they’ll buy Wii Resort because it comes with a free Wiimote or Wii Play…"
maybe cause they don't know other games exist since you don't advertise them?

seriously all 3rd party developers and publishers talk about wii games flopping and at the same time they release their games without any advertisement or letting people know that the game even exist, on weird date or produce too litle of them. yet at the same time they easily fork 20-40mln for advertisment campaigns for an average hd project.

just like SE was saying that it will be hard selling Crystal Chronicles to wii owners. it's definitely is hard when you release a title with no marketing and advertisement AT ALL behind it right AFTER christmas(who cares that the game was ready in november for japanese release) and send only very limited amount of copies. what the hell SE? you can easilly release 1.8mln copies of FF13 in japan even though they were sold out 3 weeks after release yet you can't ship even 100k copies of Crystal Bearers to USA? it's sold out in most places from what i heard.
i won't even talk about Dead Space Extraction situation.

Uh, yeah, that too, but buisness is not important, is it?

If Nintendo can sell the console for $80, then sega could sell all it's games for $4.99.

Since when does Sega know how to make a profit in the hardware business?

Everyone having a hissy fit....you do realize hes speaking, like, tongue in cheek and he doesnt, like, mean it literally.
