For the most part, I wholeheartedly agree with you. But if Hiraz is going to say about Nintendo... "...cannot allow Nintendo run off alone..." ...he should do something to concretely help hardware sales such as a pricedrop. Like I said earlier there are some highly potential exclusive titles coming the PS3's way, but a $50 (for example) pricedrop is $50 the consumer knows he will save on the hardware. My personal philosophy is that if you are going to complain, try to find a solution. Maybe the up coming games are the solution. I just think a pricedrop would be more appropriate given in association to his comments. |
Why drop price when you are going to sell a butt load anyway? They could use the extra bucks in their pocket this Christmas. Next fiscal year when they have more profitable hardware(or at least less loss leading hardware) and sales tend to lag anyway would be a better time to stimulate interest. It's the holiday season so the interest is already there.
People say that $400 is alot to spend on a console but my mother bought me a playstation even though the N64 was cheaper because that's what I wanted. That $400 could have gone a lot farther then than it would today. I guess most people just aren't thinking about inflation.
