Wii price cut: How likely is it? Analysts give their two cents
Posted on August 24, 2009 by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii
“I think that they may see sales suffer, and certainly will see sales down year-over-year. So we have to see if they cut, unbundle and cut, or rebundle (with Wii Sports Resort plus Wii Motion Plus). They’re hard to figure out.” – Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter
“(Nintendo is) struggling to keep the Wii relevant.” – Kaufman Bros. Todd Mitchell
“While the target audience for the two platforms varies greatly, some consumers will face a tough decision to purchase the Wii with outdated processing power or the PlayStation 3 with a built-in Blu-Ray player.” – Jesse Divnich, EEDAR
I personally feel that some sort of price balance is needed to keep the Wii selling as well as it has been. Be that a price cut or a new bundle, something is going to happen to make more people purchase the system other than just new software.
