Nintendo's failure to anticipate the demand for the Wii and its inability to ramp-up production are seriously restraining its growth. Furthermore, Wii console shortages have encouraged Microsoft and Sony to slash Xbox and PS3 prices and capture many would be Wii buyers.
The Wii shortage is best evidenced by the continuous sales of vast numbers of Wii consoles on eBay at substantial premiums above MSRP. Meg Whitman, the CEO of eBay, needs to send a special Christmas present to Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's CEO, thanking him for all the business the Wii shortage has brought to eBay. She might even suggest that Iwata invest some of Nintendo's abundant cash, which totals about $8 billion, in eBay stock while the Wii console shortage persists.
It is understandable when a manufacturer misses one Holiday selling season because of insufficient product. It is unacceptable to miss two in a row.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.
I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.
Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.
No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
I don't know that I buy it. I think there's just about as many Wii around as there needs to be.
Seems there's always 1 or 2 available. Any more and the perceived supply pressures don't exist and the demand for a desired object goes down.
Nintendo's done a great job keeping the supply and demand balanced well.
I don't actively look for Wiis, not really interested in one, but I do think that Nintendo has hit a sweet spot in the supply for Wiis, selling enough, but not too much to keep them on top and to generate a sort of mystique with Wii ownership. Like an OMG you've got a Wii kind of feeling.
If you really want a Wii, you can find one. All I did was find a website that tracks supplies in all of the major stores and I got one within a day. Analysts talk about the shortage but if you are determined enough, you can get what you want.
