Trends analysis2.1 Past of NintendoThe Game cube was unveiled on August twenty-fourth 2000 but customers were only allowed to buy it during the launch in November 18th 2001.

(Cubicle2001). Even thou the Game Cube had done really well in its launch it did have an outstanding performance well over the years after of its life hood the market share were majorly occupied by the Sony PlayStation2 and then Microsoft Xbox, leaving the Nintendo GameCube last.

Even thou it was shown to be the greatest ever gaming consoles to be sold over at that place year leaving PS2 and Xbox to eat its dirt.3. Economic Analysis3.1 Production Possibility FrontierAs Nintendo manufactures many gaming devices and consoles they always kept the primary clinical as one. In 2009 when the new Nintendo DS was launched it made a great profit for Nintendo company and after one year when they fully launched Nintendo Wii which was a sprout for the competition which made a profit of millions was in their choice that which one to manufacture more either the Nintendo DS or Nintendo Wii. And in the below given plat u can see how do they do this.As in the diagram above you can see that the console Wii is manufactured in maximum rate of 2000 per month and if they manufacture 2250 Nintendo ds devices than they will make more Wiis and if they reduce the output for Wii than the output for Nintendo ds Wii increase.3.2 supply and demand requisite for Nintendo devic e in the market and competition stands higher than Xbox and ps3 because Nintendo operates portable devices and consoles which other companies have not done yet. And Nintendo Wii was the first game in which you can actually react outside the screen and your own prototype will do the same movies in the screen. In Nintendo Wii you can have games that can provide you home fitness such as yoga, cardio exercises and such games which really help your movements to get refreshed and make you stay in fitness. After Nintendo Wii was launched Xbox bought up their Kinect through which you can do the similar things as Nintendo Wii but with go against graphics and improved technology than Nintendo Wii.Quantity DemandedIn the diagram above you can see the demand for the Nintendo Wii and as you can see the demand for the console is high and people are ready to buy it in an affordable price and if there is a decrease in price of Wii than the demand for it will increase automatically.Nintendo has the ir supply all over the world and it makes great amount of profit from all the places where it supplies its devices and consoles. If Nintendo would increase the range of their products, people would not wish to buy their products anymore so they should supply in a particular limit in the monthly infrastructure and in that case they should keep lower prices from which they can take their profit out and a price which would be reasonable for the people to buy.In the diagram above as you have seen that Nintendo supplies at the price of P1 and they supple Q1 amount of goods so if Nintendo starts to transport more goods than they will have to increase the price in concert as well because of the other cost of exporting the goods.3.3 Opportunity CostIn 2007 Nintendo DS was one of the best portable device and 170,000 devices were sold in Australia and if in one country Nintendo DS was sold in thousands of standard then how much would they would have sold in the rest of the part of the worl d. When Nintendo Wii was launched it was a big challenge for the other gaming competitors because it was a total different technology and which made sales huge amount of sales around the world and at that time Nintendo DS was not that competitive so Nintendo lowered down the sales of Nintendo DS and the plan they had was to keep Wii in the market and delay Nintendo DS and after a while bring up Nintendo DS up with a better technology so as they planned they have now launched their latest Nintendo 3DS which is a convenient device and in which the games are all in 3D and without using 3D glasses people will be able to play in 3D just believing in their eyes.3.4 Economies of scaleAs Nintendo has a very good reputation in the market and they hold a very good position in the market and people are willing to buy their products more so if Nintendo increases the quantity of supplying more goods and specializing on more technology which is going to happen if they get more capital into the b usiness and invest them to get more machinery for more output and making sure of using them properly because it will be of no use if they get a new machine and they dont use it. to a greater extent supply and decreasing the prices will result into economies of scale.3.5 PricingWhen a product is manufactured the cost of making that product is the original price of the product and the value added on it is the profit and the original value is used to manufacture same product again and the profit left after it is either distributed or invested into the business for more production.3.6 Law of diminishing ReturnsNintendo is a multinational company and it operates in more than one country so it is a huge company and they laden of sales and profit earnings they must have many employees labors. Having many labors a firm and giving them the same task is not that good because there will be some of them who will try to escape from work and be dependent on others which is not there and they wil l not be affected by anything because they will be paid in the end of the month. It is always better to have limited amount of labors and giving every different labor an altered task. Removing the lazy workers and having the good ones is always a better option and which will also save cost and that amount can be used in many other things such as getting more raw materials, giving more security services to the workers who work, savings for the functional workers and in the end of the month giving them bonuses and etc.3.7 Production cost and nature of competition for NintendoNintendo is a Japanese company that specializes in video game consoles.

It manages to sell more than the leading rivals combined on a regular basis and now there are suggestions that indicate Nintendo might be prepared to reduce prices in order to make its devices even more attractive.Analysts have said that cost associated with manufacturing Nintendo devices have fallen quite clearly since the initial introduction into the market. In fact, the various components and the process itself has been discovered to be 45% cheaper. As a result, the gaming device will get a price cut in order to boost sales. In some ways the price reduction has been seen as necessary for Nintendo due to its recently disappointing performance in some regions. A reduced manufacturing price for Nintendo devices means that the company is making more property on each console it sells. Other sources have discovered that just because Nintendo can it doesnt mean it will drop the systems price. This might be especially germane(predicate) for consumers in areas which rece ntly saw the devices take a hike in price due to the declining value of their currency.Overall, some consumers find the company currents devices to be overpriced but others say its fair considering the technology offered, so whether or not we agree with the current prices or not, it all comes down to whether or not we intrust we are getting our moneys worth. Either way, whoever at Nintendo figured out a cheaper way to construct the devices must have earned a promotion.ConclusionNintendo a well know Japanese multinational corporation based in Kyoto, Japan is the worlds most famous gaming company specialized in card and video gaming, Founded by Fusajiro Yamachi when it first started to produce card games which it aimed for export but was also demanded by the local market and has lead it into becoming worldwide gaming company with millions of production each year and new version coming up often with better and much more functions.
