I love these threads....

I remember when everone was saying the PS3 is doomed in September 2007, no turning back and no reason to own it....

Then the table turned and it sold better with the price cut..... I remember the January NPD when it outsold the 360... OMG to 360 is doomed everyone said....
During the summer more voices were added to that....

And now the PS3 is back in the firing line.... No turning back, nowhere to go everyone suddenly says....

I guess people never learn and might be shocked if/when the tables have turned again. Remember we are not even half way through the generation yet...

 

Yeah it is kind of funny I have been on the boards since August and seen the 360 rules sony is dead, then sony is taking over the 360 is dead and after the price cut 360 is great and the PS3 is dying.  Its who has the momentum and right know its the 360

Maybe it was the people celebrating early about the PS3 that were wrong.  Anybody that thought about it knew that MS would be ready for some very real price cuts that would have very signifigant effects.  Before this fall the original SKU's were only dropped between $20-$50 in nearly 3 years.  The initial sales of the PS3 and even the sales of the PS3 post the price reduction last fall just made it easier for MS to hold the price of the 360 to help get over the RRoD costs.  Now that this is over MS can sit in the drivers seat and cut the price again when Sony finally is in a position to cut the PS3 prices.  Sony cut prices before in desperation and now even desperation may not be enough with the economy and the state of other Sony business units.  Sony now has to say we are going to live where we are at and just make the PS3 profitable even if that means stay in 3rd place this generation.
