I dunno, no breakdowns lol.

Im just thinking if they sold 10 million consoles to consumers in last fiscal year (going by VGC numbers rite) a must have price on the console of $299 should increase the sales around 30% for the current fiscal year. Or at least increase the sales by 20% to 12 million sold to consumers, and thus enable 13 mill to be shipped by Sony.

I agree that a $100 price cut can increase sales by 30%, but as I said if they cut the price right now they would need a 45% increase (from last year)... the more weeks pass without a price cut, the more this percentage goes up.

 

With GOW3, GT5, FF13 dropping in this time and a price cut if they dont hit 13 million then i would worry...

GOW3: it's expected in March, right? If so, that won't impact this FY's numbers much, since that's when it ends. What's more I don't think GOW3 is a big system seller.

GT5: This is the true system seller than Sony has left for the PS3. However, it's not expected for the holiday period when it would be really huge (since GT Portable is launching this year, and GT5 would overshadow it). So this is probably another one which if anything, will come late in the fiscal year.

FF13: Not an exclusive, so not much impact outside of Japan... and it's not coming for the holiday season either.
