| 663209 | 2008-04-28 04:58:00 | Only one full stop. :D I think the poster is suggesting that the quality of Wii should justify its price... Yes I should have had more full stops in there. The quality of the Wii and the fact that the sales numbers are remaining constantly high mean that customers are happy with the price despite there being other came consoles on the market that are either flashier or "attempt" to do more than just play games. No I am not trying to sell a Wii to anybody. I am just highlighting an idea that works and how to keep it working in a competitive game console market. "Come backs" cost a company money interms of lost revenue when sales were down, where as continued success just keeps on bringing it in, provided you continue to innovate and tweak the existing plan and throw in a few changes/additions every 12-18 months. |

Vitalstatistics/wmg whatever... you remind me of a guy that I knew 40 odd years ago who used to sell boats. He had the greatest line of patter I have ever heard. You could say that "such and such a boat got a report in Seaspray magazine that said it was crap". His reply..."Aah but great quality crap if marketed correctly" and rattle on about the stupidity of everyone else but himself. We used to call him Gabby Supersmooth. What a creep he was. What do you do for a living... just curious. Ken :lol: :lol: :lol: |
