360 sales are inflated due to redundant purchases from impatient gamers.

Well this is anecdotal evidence, i doubt this has any impact on the overall Sales. I understand some people buying a second console, if you stuck with older model you might want to get a Jasper to reduce noise, heat etc. etc. etc.

Dude think what you wrote there, PS3 is EXPENSIVE even for people with decent jobs, because for majority of people spending something like 299 pounds on a product is a big deal.

 

Look, looking at annual GNP (income per capita) figures in the United states, it is around 50.000$ per person in 2008. That means the average American makes about 4200 a month. 1050 a week. Is 299 or 399 or even 499 such a big deal when the average person makes that amount in less than 2-3 days? And that's the average income, there is a sizable portion of the population making well over that amount. 399 is a few days worth of work at most. Burger flippers don't count.

 

unless they are caring for a family have to pay rent, for heating, cable, a car, groceries, college loans, thats where most of my money goes, and im making at the moment right under 50k a year right now, rent can be a big killer depending on where you are... for me its paying off college, once thats done ill have quite a bit more ot blow on stuff like that
