Gelmer and Dodeca-something ...what a bunch of boring fanboys !Worst it that they actually believe what they say .They bring out some quality BS ,maybe they can trick some people that dont know too much about economics or the industry .
Poor people .
Now on topic .I have been saying it for some time .Sony will offer a 399 PS3 this holidays .Either this 40Gb machine or a 60Gb/80Gb machine just for the holidays and returning to 499 after 15 january .Either way it will sell like hotcakes .Even if MS and Nintendo do great they wont do much better in NA .And in Europe and Japan Sony will push some serious numbers ,near the Wii and light years ahead of the X360 .After Sony comments the PS3 was outselling the 360 by 3 to 1 before the Elite/price cut .Once the PS3 drops its price and Pro Evolution comes it will make stunning numbers .And we know what happens in Japan .
The losses compared to the PS2 launch were greater ,thats true .Not the last reason because it launched in NA and Japan at the same time and 4 months later in Europe instead of Japan and 9 months later NA and then later Europe .
As for the price wars ....well the PS3 has sure more margin to drop the price .Theres a point were lowering the price doesnt add much more sales .PS3 is still very far from that point ,X360 is far from that point but not so much ...Wii is close but it could benefit still from 1-2 price drops to 125-150 or so .What I know is that people generally prefer the PS3 even being pricer to the 360 .At the same price the PS3 would do way better ,even being 50 more or 75 more it would still do better .If Sony goes down to 399 then MS with its Premium must go to 299 to keep its chances .
