Oh c'mon, Leo-J. There's still a good chance the ps3 could pull second. :D |
We are 2 months away from finding out if this PS3 holiday season can make it come close to the 360. |
Even though I think the ps3 will come in second, I don't think it will happen this holiday. :P Though a $399 ps3 could change that, should the rumors prove true. |
Well you can expect Microsoft to make price cuts aown there SKU's so really that's when the war really starts but with: 80GB $600 vs. Elite $450 60GB $500 vs. Premium or Pro $350 20GB $450 vs. Core $280 PS3 aint got a chance against the 360 right now. We see that Microsoft can make price cuts too. |
Price cuts only help if people want the system. In Japan, almost nobody wants a 360, and in the EU it isn't so popular either. It has been shown by surveys and other things that people DO want a ps3, sometimes even more than they want Wiis, and therefore price drops would do much more than they would for the 360. Hell, I've heard from so many things like, "I want a ps3, but it's too expensive, so I'll wait for a pricedrop." This is from people who don't own a 360 yet. If price was all that matters, then they would've gone with that. There would be far more 360s sold than there are now. Hell, if a pricedrop to the still very expensive $500 can makes ps3 sales match the 360 for a time, how will it do when the ps3 costs $399 or even $299? Like I said in a previous post, brand name is a powerful thing. |
Answer this....How long can they wait? |
Well, considering the fact that the ps3 didn't really hit it's stride until 2-3 years after it came out, and the fact that the ps2 is still outselling the 360 in the US (up until this past month), it seems as if they can wait a pretty damn long time. :P |
And as of a result PS3 sales suffer. |
Same could be said about the 360.
Also, ps2 sales are making Sony money, which in turn allows for ps3 price cuts. Turns out well for the consumers, no?
