VGChartz Hardware data for the period 24th Nov 2007 to 29th Dec 2007:
Any reason for PS3 to sell worse with incoming LBP bundles in Europe, PES in Japan, new 160GB models, and other bundles? Not to mention, that PS3 is doing MUCH better in Europe, then VGC estimates are. =)

beacuse its not going to get a price cut like it did last year. the price cut was the key to holiday sales last year, with out them sony has given christmas to wii, and 360
|
Flawed logic.
|
Well, I don't know about that: http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=50079
I mean, it's a very good point.
|
Didn't MS pull that stunt last year... thought it'd be played out by now.
|
thats not ms reporting, that is the gmaestop guys. (MS did last march, and i thought that was a stunt, much like sony claiming it durring the summer, but thats another thread)
|
Buddy... last year it started with gamestop too. If you thought it was a stunt last year then this is the same situation.
And this year MS has to know how much they sold last year at a more expensive price tag. they should be better prepared... especially if they were serious last year. Think about it.
"Hmm... guys last year we this amount of sales and we had shortages so who knows what they could have been. This year we are having a price cut right before the holidays so we should expect higher sales than last year and we should already supply more since last year we couldnt meet demand anyway"
|
you cant just play this off as MS being the only one to do it. sony has done, and nintendo continues to do it by under producing. this seems to be the cool new corporate thing to do... keeps them in the news and spurs a few more sales... I find it incredible to believe that nintendo who makes only one model can not ramp up production to exceeded demand over the time of 2 years.... it points to bad management...... both sony and ms have a small excuse they have multiple models and one of them could eb under produced, but it still points to shoddy management
|
Nowhere in the post did I say MS was the only one to do it. The guy linked to a post about MS shortages... I responded to MS shortages... why would I mention anything about nintendo or sony? Anyway I also didn't go into detail about it because his response doesnt even make sense. why link an ms shortage thread to a post about sony not being able to keep up with last years numbers to get to 20 mil
|
I admit he could have explained it better. though 360 shortages, should help the ps3 if nothing else.
I might have gone over board there, but when talking about things like creating shortages, you painted it as though it was something MS does alone. where it has clearly become a strategy of all three players.
