ghost_zero Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hi, I just wonder if the new XBox360 price cut might influence the Wii price as well. After all the XBox360 price is now dropping under the Wii price. However, as long as the Wii is selling so good with the current price, I am not sure if they will relly drop the price...
gaggle64 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 It's possible, but unlikely right now. They're still selling them as fast a they can ship them out.
DCK Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Even if Nintendo is worried about the 360 competition (which I really doubt), there's nothing they can do about it as the Wii is selling as fast as it physically can.
tomma1000 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Yeah shame really as the wii is so sucessful will be a while before there is a price drop and new colours!
Kurtle Squad Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 It's possible, but unlikely right now. They're still selling them as fast a they can ship them out. Exactly. Nintendo's a business; they're not going to reduce the Wii price when it's still selling insane amounts.
Cube Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Price cut? How much home dogs? Arcade - £150 Premium - £190.
DCK Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 In Euroland: Arcade (no HDD, wireless controller, composite, 5 XLA games): €199.95 Premium (20 GB HDD, component, demos/vids/1 XLA game): €269.95 Elite (120 GB HDD, HDMI, black): €369.95 The real worthwile packages only got a €30 cut Better than nothing still!
Tellyn Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 There's still a backlog of people wanting to buy a Wii, they don't need to cut the price until next year at least, methinks.
ThePigMarcher Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Premium - £190. I doubt it will affect Nintendo's pricing strategy but I have to admit , at that price I am sorely tempted in picking one up myself. Its just a shame that around 16% of the things fail.
Ren of Heavens Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Maybe Wii will be the most expensive console in a few months...
Goron_3 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Premium for that price is a BARGAIN! really highlights how much money Nintendo are making off each Wii.
McPhee Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I can't see it happening yet, maybe when the next price drop comes. Core for £100 would give Nintendo something to think about. On a side note, has anyone else noticed that Wii's seem to be easy to get hold of now? At work the sales have actually dropped to the point where we never run out of units. The rest of the town seems to be in a similar situation. Im guessing this is nationwide? The bundles in shops like Game and Gamestation seem to be getting better and there's rather a lot of 2nd hand Wii's popping up, both of which indicate that the sales are dropping a bit.
Demuwan Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Im defo getting a 360 this year with that price. Only question is £lite or Premium?

(I'm talking about the 90nm -> 65 nm chip size reduction last Autumn).

The Bard Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hope they do, they're making an absolute killing on an underpowered console with, scarcely any games worth owning.
Kurtle Squad Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I spent nearly that on a Core to replace my F-ed Premium. It's been VERY good to me so far though. Treats my discs better than on of my mates ones I think
Demuwan Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hope they do, they're making an absolute killing on an underpowered console with, scarcely any games worth owning. What 360 version do you have Bardy.
The Bard Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I've got the Premium. Bought it for 290 almost a year ago, it was more than worth it then, and at 190, it's practically begging to be bought. And loved. You might need an adapter for that sorta thing though.
