| wfz said: Do they expect the PS2 price drop to generate more sales than a PS3 price drop of equal value? I don't understand why they didn't drop the PS3 instead of the PS2, but all of this is just off the top of my head. What was the price of a PS2 before this? Wasn't it only $129? So why were they hyping this up so much? A freakin 30 dollar price cut on an old system? Hooray? |
$30 off a system that only seels 60k/week costs a lot less than $30 off a console that sells 170k/week.
In reality though, they now need to sell an extra 18k playstation 2's a week to be making the same amount of profit. (not including boosts in software sales, but they claimed they were getting rid of software liscensing fees too)
