Nintendo pleased with response to Wii price cut
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
“The consumer response has been very strong to the price reduction. There are literally millions of consumers out there who want a Wii and had been on the sidelines. They’d been waiting for that little nudge to go out and pick it up – the price decline, the sampling, the launching of key software like Wii Fit Plus – we believe it’s what’s pushing them over the edge to get into the category.”
Naturally, Reggie wouldn’t share any sales figures, although he does indeed seem pleased. I’m actually a little more interested in how the Japanese market will respond the price cut since the console has been in quite a slump over the last few weeks. If I remember correctly, the DS Lite recently outsold the Wii according to Media Create data.

Square Enix seemed to be hinting that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers would not make it out this year in Europe. The company has already confirmed that the title will launch this December in North America. The Crystal Bearers will in fact be out next year in Europe, but it won’t be too long after the game releases elsewhere. European players will be able to purchase the title sometime in February 2010. There hasn’t been a specific release date announced, but I’m sure there will be as February approaches.
