You basically said lower price = lower value. I countered that by saying the general consumer doesn't think that way, and if lower price = lower value then I asked why do sales rise with price cuts rather than decline. You can see the 360 ate some of the PS3's sales with the recent price cuts. That proves you're whole statement is wrong. You then went on to say something about company profitability, which isn't what your thread is asking about.

 

 

Well I didn't really say that actualy , I basicly said the change in price in combination with it's current price will reduce it's perceived value, a lower price = lower value argument wouldn't work with the existance of the Wii.

Keep in mind the 360 is in the price ranges of the PS2,PSP and Nintendo DS , if that doesn't scream to you lower perceived value then I can't debate with you

Sales spikes ocur with price cuts , and may not cause long term sales rises.... previous XBOX 360 price cuts have caused temporary spikes followed by slightly improved or similar performance sales before the price cut however  this price cut is bringing the 360 reall low so that could change. A PS3 price cut would have a much bigger impact on marketshare than the XBOX 360 did because the PS3 has more perceived value for money globaly and especialy in europe , perceived value doesn't = sales however as i have explained in other threads.
