Except that's like saying a PS3 that sells for $5 would have 99% of the market. I know what you're trying to say, but if its a little from both sides.

It's like Mercedes Benz, they charge a premium for their product because they have a high perceived value, but at the end of the day, if you can't afford one, then it doesn't matter how much value it has, you simply can't afford it.

The flip side of the argument is "they don't need to sell a Mercedes Benz for cheap."  They don't sell like a low-end Honda, but with the price-point they don't need to.

Not that I disagree with you.  On the contrary, your argument is spot on.  I just think Sony should leave the price where it is unless they start bleeding market share to 360 in buckets.

 

 

They have been bleeding marketshare. As Sony plummets, Blu Ray sales go up.

You lost me on that one.  Are you saying the PS3 is bleeding market share to the 360 or to standalone Blu-ray players?

 

 

No...actually it's at the hands of the Wii and Microsoft is just holding them down. Sony sacrificed the system for the survival of Blu Ray. It was a fair trade off you see, because as I said...they expected losses from the very beginning.

 

Actually they expected massive loses, same with Microsoft, but both expected to be selling about as well as the Wii is now. Basically the Wii killed the PS3 and 360.
