| TheSource said: Guys lets not get carried away here. PS3 sold under 80,000 units for the August 8 week. Should be a little higher for the August 15 week with Madden. But $400 to $300 is a 25% price cut. There is alot of pent up demand, but PS3 sales probably will only double at most for the August 22 week since the price drop is for half a week. It will likely stay flat the next week. That gets you to 160,000/week. A lot better than 80,000. But still alot lower than Wii. I'm not convinced it will double either - PS3 stock seems to be drying up so that Sony can push the Slim. A Best Buy ad showed the Slim coming September 6 so there may not be adequate PS3 stock til then, but some of the initial demand will wear off in the immediate aftermath of the price cut. |
Also what might turn off some consumers is the look and the fact it still doesnt have backwards compability. But i can see a major increase if M$ doesnt retalitate ....which obivously they will...
