And for the good maths: It's NOT the 'economic crisis'. If that was the case, everything would be down - why is it then, that every other system is up by so much? The crisis is doing nothing. Sony cut their own throats with the pricepoint it's at. No one wants to buy the worst system on the market for the most cash, when the Wii has far more casual appeal, and the X360 is so much cheaper for a better library. And this trend will continue until Sony drops the price. The X360 will lead the PS3 by 2:1 in sales until Sony cuts the price |
Trying to imply that the PS3 is "less" or "the worst" is nothing more than you trying to take a cheap shot at the PS3. Which console is better or worse is nothing but opinion, which does nothing to address the thread title. Besides, if the PS3 really is the worst, then the 360 isn't much better as its sales aren't going to be that far ahead of the PS3 after the holidays are over(and may not be ahead at all after the PS3 receives a price cut) and it's still being destroyed by the Wii which will continue for the forseeable future. But you're not going to talk about that, are you?
Things like video games do well in a recession because people want cheap entertainment to take their mind off of the shite state of affairs. When people have less disposable income and/or want to save money during hard times, they're going to go for the cheaper options, which means the higher and highest priced options are going to lose out. If not for the recession, the price difference between the PS3 and 360 wouldn't mean as much, but now that every dollar counts that much more, the price difference is augmented that much more. Anyone(even people like you who like to bash the PS3 on every possible occassion) should be able to see that.
