I wish people could be more accurate when then talk about the Ps3 and its price. Something like this

"PS3 is not selling as much as the 360 because at $400 dollars it is not the best Value proposition"

Its not that the PS3 couldn't sell more at $400, its the fact that to some people its not the best VALUE. Apple is selling more iPhones/Month that sony is selling PS3's, because people can see the iPhone have better VALUE.

When Sony does drop its price, the arguement will still be there, Does the XBOX360(which will also be at a lower price) offer me better value?

People also have to remember that the price of standalone BLU-RAY players will drop faster than the PS3 pricing, making the XBOX360 perceived value higher as time goes on

 

o rly ?

dammmm....i didn't know that.........how many iphones are out there btw ????????????

 

 

 He's wrong.

Iphones shipped from April 2007 through March 2008 = ~ 5.4M (http://www.systemshootouts.org/iphone_sales.html)

Ps3s sold from April 2007 through March 2008: ~ 8.8M (http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons%5B%5D=PS3®%5B%5D=Total&start=39180&end=39544)

 

... Want a better comparison?

Macs shipped from April 2007 through March 2008: ~ 8.5M  (http://www.systemshootouts.org/mac_sales.html)

 

Ps3 sold is pretty much equal to Mac for that period, but far above Iphone (nowhere near Ipod though, which is pretty much DS+PsP combined).

HAHAHA.......as i thought..it was so damn hard 4 me to believe..thanks for posting it bro

*Sigh*

i was going to write a big rebuttal, but im not an apple fanboy. You just didnt remember that the iPhone 3G launched in JULY and sold to 70 countrys rather than just 1.!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway

Heres a quote Tuesday, October 21, 2008 which still gives them 3 more months to sell and they had already sold more than the PS3 will sell all this YEAR

Apple sold 6,892,000 iPhones during the quarter and earned about $806M from these and related products over the quarter; this is more than all previous quarters combined.

Apple has already surpassed its goal of selling 10 million iPhones in calendar 2008.
