Didn't Wada also say the PS3 Slim/ price cut would have a minimal impact on sales?

Seriously...what's up with SE lately?

He was talking about SE games in 2009. Not the PS3 itself.

Gotcha. Although he's still wrong, since slim will be bundled with FF XIII.

FF 13 would have been bundled with the regular PS3, and sold just as much.

Just because the PS3 got a remodel doesn't mean interest in FF 13 will suddenly increase.

Not necessarily it wouldn't. The slim and pricecut has put a lot of attention onto the PS3. A lot of people will have still thought it was too big or too pricy if the old model and price would have stayed the same.

Now it is of course cheaper and slimmer it bring a whole new bunch of people willing to try it out. And what better game to get with it than Final Fantasy 13?

That would be true if PS3 had games like Wii Fit or Wii Sports.

FF 13 caters to a very dedicated fanbase in Japan. These are the kind of people who bought a 360 just to play Tales of Vesperia.

PS3 being $100 more expensive (or Japan equivalent) would not stop people from buying the bundle and pickign up FF 13, in fact, Sony can probably raise the price and still sell just as many as they would have.

 

When has a price drop ever caused people to buy more games for their consoles? as far as I can see, PS3 and 360 have slashed their prices in half while attatch rates remain the same.
