NOt a bad increase either on the 360 side from Gears of War 2 but my attention goes to the Playstation brand. 3 last places in America is not something you want to see if your Sony. Not to mention PS3 way behind the likes of Wii and DS in the region along with PSP not competing with DS in the region. PS2 is doing all it can but of course this is natural for it. My question is, how can Sony expect to survive in this market it if it can't compete in the largest single country. Not to mention even with those 3 products doing much better in the other 2 regions, it's still not good with this. Something needs to be done with the PSP and PS3 to help because PS2 can't help inflate numbers forever. |
I think the problem here is that Sony isn't concerned about losing marketshare. It appears, that they think the chances of taking second isn't exactly great (although very much possible), and because of that, they feel that they might as well taken in as much revenue as possible. And since 78k is still a very respectable number considering the price gaps...they're probably going to see no reason to drop the price now, when they can do it later (sometime next year). This is all a theory, and I find it all unfortunate. Sony is still on track to sell a similar amount of hardware compared to last year.
