360 price cuts might be needed to combat "stagnant demand"

Well most ppl on here call it a 200$ price drop and its generally accepted. It's much easier to type that then "introduced a new SKU that is simlar to the original at 200 USD less." Terminology is irrelevant to the topic at hand. Im going back to college to get a bachelor's in Marketing to go along with my masters in Engineering. So I like talking about the sales and strategies as long as its civil and reasonable. Theres no point in talking about it if someones going to come in here and say "lawl 360 RROD" or "delaystation" etc etc

Launch price of the PS3 was $500.  That price was lowered to $400.  How much of a price cut is that?  We don't need to discuss the fact that it is essentially a different product.

 

 

 Well instead of answering my reply some 10 posts ago you decided to correct an irrelevant piece of terminology that everyone on this site has said/seen b/f and hasnt cared about. All of this happening after you said the clearance sale in America was a price cut this year. You can continue debating this to yourself.

My intent was to reply to your original claim that the PS3 had a $200 price cut instead of the actual $100 price cut.  I think I have clarified that for you.  Following your accepted definition that lowering the barrier of entry is the equivalent of a price cut, the Arcade dropped from $299 to $279 and the Pro dropped from $350 to $300 already this year.  Both cuts lowered the barrier to entry, so by your definition they are price cuts.
