@WoW Chat Podcast - Of course you are a real person with a real life. I gave you some advice with respect. It wasn't criticism of your show, I admit to not being interested in your show based on your page's description alone. I bet your show is exactly what you and your circle of friends want, I don't suggest you change it for anyone else. Enjoy what you do.
I did offer some reasons as to why, after posting about it twice, no one has bothered to highlight it in the weekly podcast round up. Reading through these comments you'll see your podcast isn't the only one not highlighted. I wish you the best of luck now and in the future.
your podcast might just not be their thing. "4 Boobs and an A-hole" and movie reviews aren't things I want to hear in a WoW podcast. Maybe listening to your podcast would turn that thought around, but look at that list, there are 30 podcasts there already. I'd rather them be a little selective about what they include.
I'll be picked up Pearl this weekend, and I'm excited. I thought the screenshots didn't show off the new graphics as well as some of the demo videos I've seen. Still stoked. I've been trying to finish off Emerald before this weekend so I'll have more pokemon to trade up.
Managed Scarcity, especially for a product like this makes little sense and I don't believe its happening.
I don't believe its happening because the Wii continues to outsell the Xbox and PS3, so its not like Nintendo is only putting out PS3 launch type numbers. Its scarce because people are buying it.
It doesn't make business sense because the people that Nintendo is selling to, and the market they've been trying to sell to is the casual gamer. Not the hardcore gamer that is willing to scour every store every day. The price is so low as to be an impulse purchase. Every time there is no unit on the shelf Nintendo loses a sale.
Suggesting Nintendo is restricting supply to increase demand is illogical. This game system isn't a Gamecube with better graphics, its a different type of game play (whether its a gimick is certainly debatable) the best sales technique for the device is to have it in peoples homes, and have their friends play it and want to buy their own. Managed scarcity doesn't drive the casual shopper to buy it even more.
