Its not only a prediction, but possibly an ongoing thing.. Gamestop among other retailers that sell USED consoles for a lower price are now selling the XBOX 360 arcade with a wireless controller for just $139.99, ofcourse its a used product, and im certain consumers will look into it over a 360 arcade.. The ps2 also recently had a cut, its $59.99 for a used PS2. The price of a normal 360 or PS3 game. Notice how ps2 hardware has been very low in comparison to 2-3 years ago, I believe up to 40% of its actual sales may not even be counted, but USED console sales..
Come the holidays, I am CERTAIN the PS2 and 360 may actually be sold for a cheaper price USED from gamestop, and other retailers, which may, or WILL likely hurt its overall sales.. This is why I don't like the used market, and rarely support it.
What are your opinions on the matter?
