Gaming - WTF! how many? - View Post

Updates are natural.The PS2 and XBOX and GC had many hidden updates but the same SKU. The DSLite and PS2 slims are different SKUs done right though.

This gen the companies new their products were priced too high and released lower priced versions in the hopes of generating higher sales. It also allows away of increasing profit(or decreasing profit loss) while also increasing percieved value without a price drop. Eventually the price will have to drop so they intorduce a new SKU that has less percieved value while leaving the higher percieved value SKU there to help recoup profits or lessent he blow.

I blame higher entry prices/lossleading for this.
