That was my main point: PS3 sales, as they are, were expected due to it's price. $200 console vs $400 console, in the current economic situation, is much more afforfable, hence, higher sales for the cheaper console, and yes other things factor in as well: Live, Gears 2, Netflix etc. But the price + global recession are mostly responsible for the huge spike in 360 sales. Simple logic can go a long way if folks choose to use it. However, the Wii is a hardware monster in a class by itself, which is great for Nintendo :) Sony can have an even better 09 than 08 - even though Sony did fine in 08 but it will only get better. |
....couple pages back, Nightsurge sorta put the screws to ya' when he pointed out that the arcade model only accounted for around half of all sales, which means that the two more expensive versions..obviously...made up for the rest. Those two by themselves still outsold the PS3. Since you didn't respond to Nightsurge, i just thought i'd remind you, as i'd like to hear your answer since the question negates any use of the $200 vs. $400 argument. Also, applying your 'simple logic' assertation, why isn't the Arcade outselling the Wii, regardless of what a monster it is, doesn't your 'simple logic' rule dictate that something cheaper sells more? And... what about 2007, when the economy was far more stable and there were no price cuts to use as bait for discussion.... why did the 360 outsell the PS3 then?
