lol just from a few weeks of good sales for microsoft, everyone is geting excited? microsoft dont have what it takes to beat sony in the long run. they still havnt even beaten ps3 since it released! ps3 sold more last year and it has sold more so far this year and microsoft had to cut prices big time and advertise heavily to start beating ps3 again. maybe the ps3 hasnt really closed the gap much but looking at the price just keeping the gap how it is should do for sony.

 

 

And it only took price drops for Sony to do that!

Since launch Sony went from 599-399 or a 200 dollar drop

Since launch the cheapest 360 went from 299-199 or a 100 dollar drop

 

Yup one of them cut prices big time.

sony only cut the prices like that because they realised the ps3 should have launched at the most $499. only the rich hardcore gamers would be able to afford the ps3 at its launch price and talking about prices, i dont see a any ps3 for $199.

 

Uhmm you said MS had to cut prices than you say Sony only had to cut prices. In fact MS had a year long head start and had to cut prices because the market at that price had become saturated something that occurs naturaly.

Sony had to cut prices early see a sales spike watch the spike dwindle again and then cut prices and is now watching the spike dwindle again.

The GC sold the least and was up to a $150 cheaper at one point time than the competetion. If Sony were to cut the price again it would see another sales spike and slightly higher sustained sales or reduced depreciation in sales but the fact remains that once again Sony's system si priced to high for the market for it to see trememndous growth.
