No Wii price cut for "foreseeable future"
Nintendo to shy off 🧜from price cut because it's still selling all of the units it makes
Oct 12, 2007
Despite console price cuts being the in thing at the moment (Sony🎉's $599 or %26pound;349PS3 and the Xbox 360 price drops), Nintendo says it expects to keep the Wii price-point unchan🅺ged for the "foreseeable future" since it is selling all of the units it makes.
Speaking to Reute🔴rs, Nintendo of America's marketing VP George Harrison said: "We'll stay at $249 for the foreseeab🗹le future. We are still selling everything we can make."
This is in-line with earlie🌜r comments from NOA president Reggie Fils-Aime, who said that company would not be able to meet the large Wii demand this Christmas.
"We'reꦬ working very hard to make sure that consumers 💜are satisfied this holiday," he said, "but I can't guarantee that we're going to meet demand. As a matter of fact, I can tell you on the record we won't."
That's it then; spread the word, because until mothers and grandparents stop buying Nintendo's console, new buyers are going to have toput up with the �🌼�harsh price point - which let's not forget is the same as an Xbox 360 Core.
