All my friends say that the only reason the Wii is beating the 360 and PS3 is because it’s affordable. Now, a top anylist is saying that it might be a good move for nintendo to drop the price even further to put distance between itself and Sony and Microsoft.
My friends are going to get a little angry.
Mike Hickey is a Senior Research analyst for Janco Partners, which follows technology companies. He states that with Microsoft and Sony bringing the big guns this year, Nintendo might have to change their strategy a bit.
“We believe Nintendo needs to cut the price of their console from $200 to $150 immediately, as they should establish as meaningful of an installed base as possible before the Natal and Arc are introduced.”
