| Borkachev said: I didn't say anyone who bought a PS3 was tricked: I said that trickery has been a major part of Sony's strategy for selling them. That's a contradiction. If trickery is part of Sony's marketing strategy, and consumers purchase a PS3 because of Sony's marketing, then the consumers have been tricked. These three moves were designed to force consumers into buying things they didn't want. Because they were all based on deceptive business practices or straight-out lies, I think "trickery" is definitely the right word. Consumers do not buy things they dont want. That's a bad way of putting it. See my need/desire post above. False advertisment can however pursuade consumers into purchasing something they might otherwise avoid, but this simply isn't the case with the PS3. The desire is there amongst consumers. This is simply an effective buisness strategy to sell alot of consoles in a short space of time. Again your acting like Sony is the only one party to this. This is common practice in the buisness world. |
