good stuff, it's interesting that there is a pull that games are too expensive and cumbersome to make today- and yet prior to the ps1, it sounds like games were even more expensive and much riskier to make.

it would be nice if there was a single cellphone format you could buy games on. There a ton of problems with that format, ranging from figuring out a way for nondata plan users to purchase items without excessive charges, to transporting games from phone and service.

So the ps3 sells 20K more units in Japan the week of a huge release (re5), while the wii has sold the last few years almost independently of any software coming out- and sold at levels of demand that have been unprecedented. And just now, supply has finally caught up with demand.

What would happen if the wii had a price drop?

in order to push nintendo, they will have to divert resources from ps3 and/or xbox and/or pc, you wonder which will lose the most support

perhaps they should leave the msrp at $59.99, but discount at retail similar to other entertainment products

do you think wiiware or virtual console titles will ever pricedrop?
