I agree. I am a Business graduate and I will also tell everyone that it makes no sense what so ever to hold back supply to "create hype" with the exception of holding back a small part of stock to have more units available during the holiday season just as any video game company would do. I really have to laugh at some of the people on here. "Nintendo is holding back supply because my Neighbor isn't playing his Wii." "Nintendo is holding back supply to keep the hype...
Ok, noobs. The Wii has been out about 530 days. It has sold about 24,770,000 units to date. If the factory operated 24 hrs a day and 365 days a year that would be about 32.45 Wiis produced/sold a minute which is more than one Wii produced/sold every 2 seconds. How much could they possibly be holding back at that rate. Plus the only time it could possibly benefit to hold back supply is to have more units available around the Christmas shopping season. Holding back supply all the time woul...
This is getting so old. Why don't they just keep posting the same article and slap a different title on it cause that is about all it amounts to. The same story over and over. Yes, lets predict the Wii's demise when it is selling faster than any video game device in the history of video games 5 days before Mario Kart Wii come out. Seriously.
First of all, look how fast it is selling. It is selling faster than and video game device in the history of video games. Doesn't it follow that such a situation would lead to supply issues. Furthermore, I am a Business graduate from an ACCSB Accredited University and I will tell you that Nintendo would only harm themselves by holding back supply. If you have taken Financial Management then you know about the complex dynamics of the time value of money, return on assets, days in inventory,...
I read all of the short cuts and can do all of them by mouse faster. Tab browsing FTW.
I LOL'd at every comment in this thread. ps3/360 fanboys fighting over scraps while nintendo/smash bros just simply dominated. Click disagree if you are a fanboy in denial.
The Wii is supposed to get a production boost April at the earliest. I wonder if we will see what it is really capable of sales wise or if the production increase will still not be enough to exceed demand.
@ Hazeblaze - The Wii launched With Zelda and it was a great game. Do you have any idea regarding the percentage of people that bought Zelda when they bought their launch Wii? There were stories on many websites acknowledging that and when I camped out to get my launch Wii, I didn't talk to one person in line that wasn't picking up Zelda also. I own Metroid Prime 3 as well and Twilight Princess > MP3. How can you say the Wii didn't have a great title at launch? LOZ: Twilight Princess...
2008 was supposed to be the year of the ps3 but January was clearly Nintenduary which didn't surprise me the least bit. Nintendo is trying to up supply again around April so it is only going to get worse for PS3/360 if they are actually thinking they could take 1st place. Nintendo is still selling out and they have been making about 70 bucks profit per console sold since launch and making even more than that as manufacturing costs have went down over the last year + . They can drop the pri...
2008 was supposed to be the year of ps3. January over and 2008 belongs to Nintendo on the home and hand held front. Is anyone really suprised. Wii outsold PS3 over 2:1 and the Wii has been making a large profit on every console since launch day so they can drop the price at will at any point in 2008 if need be which is unlikely as it is still sold out and they are increasing production around April so the sales numbers are soon going to be even more lop sided than they already are. 2008 a...
It is a good game from what I hear but I have never even seen a commercial for it. You might get away with that for an established series but outside of people that research games on the internet, no one has even ever heard of Zack and Wiki because it was not marketed to the general public. So how has Zack and Wiki been selling considering it was never marketed?
I am really curious to see hom much they will up production and see if that will finally be enough to meet demand with a little surplus on top so it is not constantly sold out. We could finaly see what kind of weekly sales the Wii is really capable. Should be interesting.
Is not going to be FF13 or GTA. It is going to Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Look at Super Mario Galaxy sales. 5,337,421 in 3 Months !!!! and SSMB is more hyped than Galaxy and already has one perfect score from Famitsu.
It cost to manufacture a Wii,PS3 and 360 these days? Please mention different skus if you have a estimate of what they currently cost to manufacture.
Sony's Total Revenue is More because their products are more expensive
but their expenses are higher also. Even with the Suport of PS2 Nintendo still made alot more net income because both the DS and Wii are making rediculous profits and Nintendo also makes alot more money off software. The past year and half or so that I have been visiting vgchartz.com/ Nintendo has been the leading publisher in game sales every week on top of their hardware domination. Total Revenue doesn't mean a...
Already outsold by Wii every week of 2008. Way to take 2008 PS3. What happened to your precious Monster Hunter 3. lmao
I read somewhere a couple months ago that the MGS series has never been a system seller. Not saying it won't be this time but it has never been in the past.
I am not a 360 fan by any stretch of the imagination. I would take a ps3 over a 360 although I own neither. The red ring of death ruined me on microsoft. After the beating the Gamecube took I just think Nintendo well deserves their success and I am just pointing it out because it seems like people are in denial. 360 vs PS3 fighting for second place... second place is the first loser. I am on this website all the time. I just dont post in every thread that is interesting. I also am a me...
2008 The Year of The PS3 !!!!!
... oh wait ... still getting spanked by the DS and Wii and even furthermore when Japan numbers come out. Its just math. PS3 will probably catch 360 worldwide sales in around 2 years because of Japanese rejection of the 360. Maybe 2008 will be the year of PS3 in relation to its competition with 360 but it wont be catching the Wii anytime soon and probably never. Has the PS3 even ever outsold the Wii globally in any given week ? It is still di...
I want to play him in pong.
