I just know they MET THEIR GOALS with the PS3 sales for the fiscal year ending March 31st (which they did focused on reaching it without cutting prices a single cent). I doubt the MS games division was too happy after slashing their prices so aggresively and got the results they got. Those guys are in a world of pain right now TOO, and worst of all their hands are pretty tied for the rest of the year. |
Obvioulsy cause they lowered them drastically. Something like only 10million Ps3s sold.
And can ppl stop about cutting price. Do you think SONY can afford another price cut?? $200 in two years is alot.
Aggresively, so what did SONY do? SONY slashed their prices because of desperation. Why are they in a world of pain??Hmm outsell the PS3 by 8million, YOY massive increases, high Japan sales...

Firstly i believe that they predicted 10million for the current fiscal yr last yr, so they didn't lower it during the fiscal yr. So obviously they estimated very well. and they survived even after MS lowered price of XBOX drastically.
Secondly Sony launched the PS3 at $200 above the normal launch price of a console. So i think normal price drop schedule of other consoles should not be applied on it. So

Nope. They predicted $11million for March07-08. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6179642.html
Drastically?? Wasnt it the first price cut in 3 years for the 360 in Americas??
Secondly, SONY when releasing the console said it would sell and thought the price was too low. Plus with free PSN, wireless adapter, bluray. So do you expect the PS3 to match the 360 in price and still be profitable?

Please check the yr we are talking abt and the news of the yr u have given. This is fiscal yr 2008 - 2009 for which we r discussing and the report is talking abt fiscal yr 2007 - 2008..
Secondly XBOX360 is currently available for 199, which is the price point where most of the consoles are sold.. more than half of the total console sales are at this price point. Sony is still twice that price point... So whether they decreased price drastically or not but they are at a price point where they should be making most of the X360 lifetime sales.
