@crumas2 We're exposed to the chrisis in america through our own financial system in the UKmaybe because our banks lent money to banks which eventualy wet bankrupt in America , i'm not exactly sure .
We've been discussuing the merits of Selnor's argument down at the HQ , I think that he does have a point the 360 will be less affected in sales than the PS3 because of the economic climate , however the PS3 has sold better with a high price point so in poorer economic conditions it should still sell heathily , Sony's priority is profitability so unless sales really suffer there will be no need to cut the price so those who demand the PS3 can buy it.
Let's also consider that there isn't as much demand for the 360 as there is for the PS3, yes the 360 sells better at 3 times less the price point of the PS3 in europe but that's only due to the fact that it's dirt cheap .There is still more demand (or desire ) for the PS3 console the only problem is that the price point is too high for the desire for the PS3 to translate into 1:1 desire:sales.
Consider the ferrari example, there is crazy demand for it but it doesn't sell crazily . If it was dropped to £5000 for a day it would probably sell more than any car has ever in a day that is because those who desire it would have the means to aquire it , sales and desire 1:1.
