At the entry level price the console would not have survived the first year. Thus Sony was forced to cut the price in many markets by a third. They did not do it, because they wanted to. They had no option either they had a radical price reduction or the console would have been one of those one year consoles that litter the console battle ground. The console did not do well for the price. It did well for having massive price cuts. |
Sony did not drop the price in the 1st year of the PS3.
But, lets say the PS3 sales are a result of "radical price reductions", what do you call the 360's current situation? The PS3 was outselling the 360 by 2 million consoles in '08 before M$'s price reduction. Which is the same amount Sony dropped thier price.
So what your saying is: Sony dropping price $100 = radical price reduction
M$ dropping price $100 = smart business
BTW: neither the 360 or the PS3 are doing great. They are both doing OK but a 8 million unit gap is nothing. Especially since we are not even half way through this gen.

It's might be smart business, if you can afford it. The problem for Sony is they don't make billions of profit to hide their losses anymore.
