| Hyruken said: Buying any of the consoles is expensive, especially at this time of year and in this current financial climate. I don't buy it that the cost matters anywhere near as much as people try and tell it. If you REALLY want a PS3 the extra $100 is nothing to pay to get it. I'm sure they could wait a couple of weeks on an investment like that if they wanted it. And people don't want it, simple as that. |
That's exactly the case though. For the average uneducated consumer (whom most are) why would you wait for a few extra weeks to afford the PS3 if you can get (in their mind) a comparable product for half the price?
And I don't know about the States, but in Canada you can get a Pro 360 and 5 free games for $299, versus $399 for a PS3 with no games. It just doesn't make sense to buy a PS3 right now. Retailers aren't pushing it, and consumers aren't purchasing it.
It's all about the game.
