Even though I commented on that poll you guys gave out, I'm going to go ahead and say it again. I completely agree with you on that price tag. They'd sell 4-5million if they'd just bump the "arm and a leg" price down to 75 smackaroos.
But, I'm a nintendo freak, and I still would've payed for it for TWICE that price... but thats just me.

Hmmm... Let's say we could get some promotions out?
Maybe put up some contests for it so that some people can get the game for cheap or free...
If that's the case, there's enough people who would own it...
And through the limited knowledge of advertising:
If enough people show-off their expensive devices to their friends and neighbors, they'll eventually make the Johnson-neighbor-effect: Everyone will eventually get one despite the price.

I love that picture. What does that lady think shes going to find on that empty rack of shelves? why did she walk down that aisle anyway? But on a related topic, am I the only one who is not excited about Wii Fit?

Don't want Wii Fit.....well not at $140......or £70 where I live. £35 most and it would be my most expensive game purchase ever.
It doesn't even look that great....it's just one of those things that looks new and fun so you want to try it out but you'll be bored of it soon. Oh and yeah it'll sell....the evil ones I mean casuals will lap it up.

okay look at the price of rock band and how it sold. then look at how america goes ga-ga over most anything health or weight loss related. next look at what critics keep on saying that ours and every generation after is having obsiety issues (ok so maybe i don't exercise enough ;) ) and you really think his prediction is off???

These shotages are really starting to upset me. My local game stop, which is the number third most profitable gamestop in the region, got three Wiis last week. Count them: one, two, three wiis for week. They of course sold out in about 15 minits. A year and a half of shortages is insane.
I understand that starting up new production may be costly, but honestly if I go through another year of these shortages I'm going to be so pissed off that I will not get one at all and I might stop supporting nintendo all together. I know that sounds immature, but I do not like supporting companies that cant send more then three units to my local game store.
