I can't imagine that many people want to buy the 40gb if they have the knowledge a new system with upgraded controller and disk space is coming soon. And those who are unknowing of the upgrade may walk into stores where stock is depleted. It's a double whammy. |
Right. Anyhow, while shortages at launch where a big shot in their own feet, this time I think Sony chose quite a good timing, the summer is getting hotter right now and more and more people will go to the sea and will play less with consoles and PCs, and this will go on on a higher degree up to mid August, and on a lesser degree up to the end of Summer, so knowing that a sales decrease was unavoidable, making it happen just when it would have happened anyway is a good move, better than MS dropping price and announcing the big FF XIII blow when Summer will dampen their beneficial effects.
