| Fei-Hung said: I think a price cut will all depend on how well KZ2 shifts consoles. If there is a surge in sales, they will hold it off for longer. 200,000 a month is still pretty good for a console twice the price of it's competitor. The profits made from a surge in sales will only benefit Sony and ps3 owners as it will allow Sony to re-invest it on the IPs we are all waiting for. |
I really hate this argument. Only the Arcade model is half the price of the PS3, the Pro model is 3/4 the price and the Elite is the same price. When people bring up "well it's half the price, but it doesn't outsell the PS3 by twice as much!!@#$!!" they seem to forget this fact because not everyone buying a 360 is buying the Arcade model. In Canada the Arcade is $200, 60GB Pro is $300, Elite 120GB is $400 vs. 80GB PS3 @ $400 and 160GB Uncharted Bundle at $520. (The Wii sits around $275 heh) I think the price staggering of the 360 reflects well in its sales figures compared to the PS3. Obviously once people move up to the Pro or Elite pricing there is a greater chance that they'll go with the PS3, or at least weigh the pros and cons closer. This is how bringing the 80GB PS3 price down to the 60GB Pro price will really help Sony.
