No this will not signifigantly make a massive christmas turnaround. I can see the conjunction if happening increase sales. It THINK the biggest failure is that the people in question are not smart/capable enough to understand game experience usability value price curve. PS3 enhanced the experience of old model games. It doesn't do anything else. It doesn't get new people to play, it doesn't make new experience games it does all the old stuff better. But everything get's old to people. The longer people do something the more boring it get's. To people who came in late say anywhere in the PS1 and PS2 era the PS3 is not old. People like me who have been playing games since Vectrix, Coleco, Atari 2600(before Nintendo) the PS3 is old. It's not that we won't find fun games on the machine like LBP, Infamous, but games like ANY SHOOTER. Well let's just say that we were playing Wolfenstien and Wolfenstien 3D probably before these people were born. After all that most of the games of the old values don't even appeal to the world. They appeal to a small audience.
So while the conjuction would garuntee to increase sales and have some fence sitter to buy(i'm waiting for slim $200) the value of old is well not in a rush. The PS2 was the king of old values. With the other machines being of also old values, but later to the game and didn't have the wave of the PS1. The PS2 deserves it's title, by having the best library of 3d games(SNES is the King of the 2d).
So as we head into this Christmas(in 5 months) sales will increase, but there will be no sudden change in peoples buying habits from the new values to the old. Just the fence sitters.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
