psmcx said: i believe we will see a price drop soon due to poor sales, the loss of the 20 gig model, and that Sony wants more momentum going into the holidays. But honestly i dont see the urgency because the ps3 isnt selling badly unless you compare it to the wii. But the problems of supply when the ps2 launched mean that the 5 month period for both consoles are relatively similar. |
There is absolutely no comparison between the PS2 and PS3 launches. By the 25th week, the PS2 sold almost as many in Japan as the PS3 has world wide in the same amount of time.
