Wii production costs 45 per cent lowerNibble Less waterBy Nick FarrellWednesday, 8 April 2009, 10:56PRODUCTION COSTS on the Nintendo Wii are now 45 per cent lower than they were when the console shipped in November 2006.Koya Tabata an analyst at Credit Suisse noted the drop in Wii production costs as an indication of how much of an uphill battle the PS3 has to establish itself.While the PS3 is enjoying a run of hardware success, Tabata pointed out that Nintendo can counter this any time it likes by dropping the price of the console while still making shedloads of cash.He said that the Wii costs no more than $137.50 to make, even though the system sells at $250 in Japan.
Facing a double-digit slowdown in sales of its Wii game console, Nintendo announced it will slash the price of the console 20% to $199 on Sunday.The Japanese company has sold more than 50 million Wiis since launching the device in November 2006, making it the bestselling of the current generation of video game consoles. Indeed, many stores ran out of the console during holiday shopping seasons. But this year, the console is in plentiful supply and U.S. sales are down 21%, according to data from NPD Group."The last five months, April through August, tell the story," said Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities. "Sales are down exactly 50%."Nintendo also announced it would release New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the company's blockbuster bet, on Nov. 15. To fuel sales, Nintendo plans to reach out to millions of new consumers by holding sampling events where shoppers can try out games on the console."Combined with the value pricing, a new blockbuster release right before Thanksgiving and the opportunity for consumers to see for themselves, we will drive holiday sales to new heights," said Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo's U.S. business.The price drop is projected to give Nintendo a 40% life in sales in October, said Jesse Divnich, analyst with Electronic Entertainment Design and Research.Sony in August slashed $100 off the price of its PlayStation 3 console to as low as $299. Microsoft countered by offering a temporary $50 rebate off its $299 Xbox 360 Elite console, bringing the price tag down to $249.Let the price war begin.- Alex Pham
