One of the newer strategies is shorting manufacturing. These companies know they can move their consoles, they just want to move as many as possible.

I wouldn't worry about Nintendo, though. Nintendo has a firm fan base. Many parents are also aware of their image as a 'family friendly' company. Whether you go PS3 or Wii, it'll be about timing and it'll be about pricing. Remember...this has been going on for a while. People are getting savvy...they know they're getting ripped off, but they still only want to bend over only as far as they need to.
Big Calhoun Reviewed by Big Calhoun on . Money Making Idea I saw that when the first shipment of the Xbox 360's came in, there were people selling them on Ebay for up to $2,000. So i thought that if people were buying $400 systems for $2,000, isn't it logical that if i pre-ordered a $600 PS3, i could expect to sell it for up to $3,000? I think i might do that, and then even if no one buys it, i'll return it to the store with the recipet, for the full price.... Rating: 5
