Re: wii selling for $400+ again on ebay
[ QUOTE ]
Blame Nintendo for not producing enough Wiis tbh... [/ QUOTE ] they are producing 1.8mil/month at this point they are producing and selling faster than any console in history most of u guys + devs + analysts woulda never dreamed wii would sell 18-20mil in it's first 13.5 months... they are producing plenty...to produce more means a lot more costs which may not be recouped if the demand doesn't stay up for several years...and u also run the risk of the quality decreasing when u try to ramp up production too quickly they will have produced 22 million+ wiis in 16 months...u can't blame Nintendo for producing too few...blame them for creating a machine that has such high demand |

So the PS2 sold 94 Million consoles in the last 5 years? That doesn't seem right.

This is an odd generation because the Wii basically started there. Things will get really odd about the time the 360 and PS3 hit $199. |

I would imagine the sales would be even higher if they would allow the Wii to play DVDs without having to get a mod chip.

[/ QUOTE ] not sure how u reached that conclusion every wii shipped = a wii sold right now it is a supply problem, not a demand problem once they no longer sell out and nintendo's warehouses start filling up with extra wiis, then you can begin talking about how they could sell more personally, i don't see how lack of dvd player would be a deal-breaker for 99% of potential buyers |
