I think the reason there's always lots of different color & LTD edition gameboys, is because that way, there's ones to suit different kinds of personalities. I think it worked, sales figures don't lie.

I hate to sound rude, but I think we can all agree that's pretty obvious. (for all things, not just Gameboys)

I didn't buy that sexy green N64 controller for nothing dammit! :lol:

It isn't too obvious, otherwise every company would do it for every device. Look at the iPhone 4 - it comes in 2 colors: black and white. For a long time it only came in black.

I didn't just mean electronics. Everybody has favorite color, or even if its not a favorite, just the way a certain color looks on certain things.

& Iphone? Ha, do they really even need other colors when they are selling them like hotcakes? That makes me wonder about the PS3, since I haven't heard anything about it besides the obvious huge stories, does that thing have any other colors then black yet? All I have seen at peoples houses.

Japan got white and silver, ignoring the special editions.

I guess it depends on the market.

Anything by Apple doesn't count, all their customers have OCD and like things to be black or white.

Now that I think about it seriously, apart from the ipod nano and shuffle, I can't think of many coloured Apple products. It makes sense that those two products should be coloured, after all, anyone who actually listens to music properly buys a classic, especially considering it's better value for money.

I digress. Maybe I should be in marketing?

[alecjahn]

It's all the black and white stuff that makes our colored collections really pop.

[Undercoverlover]

Yeah, that's the one.

Sorry, I've been up for too long and should probably go to sleep.

Well, actually Apple did have several different colored versions of the original iMac. I have the greenish one (forget what it's called).

Also, I can take a stab at the reasoning behind this trend. If you make many different colors of a product, it's almost like you're selling several different products. Because of people's tastes, certain colors would get as many customers. But it's hard to predict exactly what the trend will be, and you have to produce a certain amount of each color. So that means that you'll probably be producing more units than people will actually buy, so you'll lose money. Of course, it's not that black and white (pun intended), but I think that's the general idea.
