| ROBOTECHHEAVEN said: i think sony needs to put the ps2 to rest, because it hardly has any games coming out for it and no more blockbusters either. i think sony should drop the ps2 to $99 around black friday and sell its remaining stock and focus on just the ps3/psp/psp-go systems. :) |
There's a problem with your statement.
1). The PS2 is already a $99
2). It still gains profit. Sony makes a considerable amount of its revenue from the Playstation brand, particularly, the PS2 because of its library and profit, unlike the Xbox, which, although is a success on Microsoft's part, it generates a small portion in comparison to other divisions of the company.
3). It still sells decently for an 8 year old console. (It even surpassed the PS3 one time in weekly sales)
4). Many people own PS2 to complement their PS3 (BC is one)
5). Cheap to produce meaning that it will never really hurt them in the first place.
6). ALOT of people own a PS2. People still buy games for PS2. Game sites still review PS2 games. It isn't dying, if I were to metaphorically give it an age, I'd say 35-40 years old. Getting old, but still kicking and lots of potential.
This is the true definition of owning.
