@ Euphoria you're wrong on the price cuts. It would have been $100 if the 20GB was released in any decent number. We've been over this before in other threads. It was almost impossible to get the 20GB SKU and the sales ratio between the 60/20GB prove it.

 

Alright, but then were do people pull this $200 number from? This is something I just never understood.

High end SKU is still $100 less than original high end price and low end is still $100 than original low end price.

PS3 is still running a 2 SKU show.

Thanks.

If the PS3 20gb and 60gb were available equally, one would expect:

PS3 20gb sales to be much higher than 60gb sales because the 20gb model is far closer to the launch off price of $400 at which PS3 sales took off.

Instead, 60GB sales are far higher by a ratio I believe of 4-1 IIRC. So people who were struggling to purchase the PS3 or justify its puchase decided to pay $100 extra for no good reason?

Wireless isn't that important and hardcore initial buyers would know they could change the HDD out anyway.

Lastly, a 20% price cut isn't significant enough to justify the PS3 increase in sales in 2007, however a $200 or 33% cut does.
