It's a strategy based on value.
I never said Nintendo lost the console wars. They're playing their own game here folks. I'm spectating that game.

except that you fail to understand that consumer electronics work in a way different than you understand the Blue Ocean strategy. even Apple dropped the price of their iPod eventually, and prices of similar entertainment devices such as DVD players go down in time as well. the Wii is a piece of consumer electronics. lowering price with time is a natural progression in the life of the product, Blue Ocean or not, because quite simply, some people won't even think of purchasing an entertainment device until it drops to a lower price, the Wii included.
