| Procrastinato said: The Xbox 360 Arcade could sell for $149.99 tomorrow, because Microsoft makes big bucks off each one sold. Sony loses money on expensive $129.99 Playstation 2 though, because its old and manufacturer's charge a lot more for pieces to make old stuff with. Even though Sony Playstation 2 sells near 50% of what 360 sells, its very clear it costs them money to make (from money loser reports) , but MS would rake in the dough at $149.99 for easy-to-make 360, which will be made from straw and tin mostly at new price, which is way cheaper than PS2 stuff. Pricecut will never help Sony! Microsoft will always win with even more cheaper 360! |
You actually thick Sony losses money on a ps2? Are you joking?
People said a price cut wouldn't help the 360 when PS3 was outselling it @ twice the price. We all know how that turned out.
Microsoft's financial situation is not great. They are cutting jobs and cost just like every other company. They will not lower the price of any 360 untill Sony begins to catch up. They would be stupid to cut prices before this, simply because they don't need to. Profit is to important in the current economy and the amount spent on the RRoD continues to grow.(although at a slower pace).
plus, the 360 has reached its peak, as far as sales. Check history, the third year is almost always the best year for any succesful console. Last year was the 360's 3rd year and this year is the PS3 and the Wii's 3rd year.
The ONLY advantage the 360 has is price. Everything else is a advantage to the PS3.
