“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audience for the two platforms varies greatly, some consumers will face a tough decision to purchase the Wii with outdated processing power or the PlayStation 3 with a built-in Blu-Ray player.”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.
Out of all the info that came out of this year’s GamesCom, one recently revealed detail will have many people heaving a sigh of disappointment.
“I got confirmation at Cologne’s Gamescom that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is on hold for now. No idea if it’s def or temporary but it sucks.”
This is a huge let-down for fans of the series, without a doubt. I can’t say that I was looking forward to the game, as I’ve yet to play an installment of the franchise, but for those that were this is an unfortunate piece of news.
