‘No price cuts for the Wii in 2010’ says Nintendo
Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
“Certainly on the Wii, we are now in the fifth year. We have had extraordinary success. The PS2 went on to sell more than 50 million. So that means there is plenty of opportunity to sell more Wiis. That being said, going into the fifth year, you usually don’t anticipate selling more than you did in the previous year. Right now, we continue to see demand at very strong levels. It’s tough to find a Wii now. If we hit 100 stores in the area, we would find Wiis in only 20 percent of them today. That tremendous strength we had in December really wiped the pipeline clean. Our pipeline, [and] the retailer pipeline. And so, with that kind of demand, it doesn’t suggest the need for any pricing actions.” – Cammie Dunaway
I don’t know how much to believe her on this, especially when Nintendo has been known to deny rumors just days before they turn out to be true. Anyone think they might be serious this time?
