What drives the sales of the Wii

My theory is

People buy them because they are so hard to come by

I remember i wanted a wii for so long and when i got one during the summer i really didnt play it much until smg and ssbb came out

So i think they are in such high demand because they are hard to come by

And when the stores do have them in stock they sell out in an eye blink because if people miss that chance it will be a while before they get another one

wii sports is fun for about a day

not to mention wiimotes and nunchukes together cost like 60 bucks

the wii is fun ive been playing ssbb for the past two days but

really i think they sell like hotcakes because they are so hard to come by

when a store gets them they sell out quickly

and yeah ur right i also think it has to do with the fact that its innovative

Nintendo fanboys do

New gamers do

Maybe some Nintendo-opposers do,because they buy Wii and Wii games in order to give offensive reviews after they play those games

Your logic hurts my brain, they sell so well because they are hard to come by yet they are hard to come by because they sell so well its quite the dilemma.

No, they are so hard to come by because people buy them

Good first party games and the advertisment campaigns for the wii appeal to people outside the core gaming audience(well they do in the UK).

People buying them because theres not alot doesn't make sense though.

Because it's not a game...

Why is it anytime someone tries to bash Wii they say something, like "Oh and what does Wii have Wii Sports, yeah that's fun for like 2 seconds ahahaha" Urrm yeah what game came free with your PS3? Oh none that's right. They don't sell because they are hard to come by, the DS isn't hard to come by and it sells well, the reason the DS sells is the reason the Wii sells, it's suitable for all ages, it's fun and it's something different.

something new, games, funAlways-Honest

Cheaper then competition. Basically the same reason Honda Accords sell better then BMW M3s. Economics 101.dru26

Well actually they aren't cheaper than 360's now, so that's wrong, it's like buying a car with a 1 litre engine over one with a 3 litre one even though they are the same price, you get more for your money.

BLAU!Bigboi500

what does that mean?

Pricing is perfect for parents. Females (no offense to hardcore female gamers) are in love with this thing. A lot of people I know bought this system b/c their wife wanted one b/c it looked "fun". The motion sensor is a great marketing tool. Something new and fresh. Honestly the Wii games are fun to play if you have been drinking w/ some friends.

They're selling well because they're hard to find? :?

The gaming industry reached a point where consoles needed something different rather than just a simple upgrade of its predecessor. The Wii and DS sell well because they're different, thus making it more appealing, simple as that.

If / when you take upper level econ classes, you'll learn that the price of the good isn't always the most important factor... there are other factors that cause the sales... and on that note it's not because they are priced cheaper, it's because you have increasing marginal cost and decreasing marginal benefits.

Basicaly your confusing macro with micro.
