Did the price cut really helps the PS3 and the Wii? Or its just temporary?

Im not sure if increasing the userbase was the right term, more like a impulse buyer. And its natural, its always like this when a company pricecut their product whether you will need it or not afterwards. So we're not sure if the ones buying the Wii and PS3 because of the pricecut are really using the product.


But overall, seem the pricecut mania had fizzled. theres no hype or news on it afterwards. After 2 weeks its always like other every week when console sales were concerned. And we will know it in October NPD. If either of the 2 consoles didnt double or triple the sales after the pricecut the pricecut isnt worth it after all. Just remember, PS3 sells for about 490,000+ while the Wii sells 462,000.

PS3 was averaging 100k before the cut, it is averaging little over 200k now, how can you even make such an argument ????????

 

 

I did say that, but again... you only mentioned the PS3. We discussed both consoles here its even in my post you quoted

Wii sales before the cut : 220k or so.

Wii sales after the cut : 350k....

In both cases the number speak for themselves and are readily available on the site, I really don't see the point of arguing about them...

 

 

Is that WW or NA? because some PAL regions dont have a pricecut yet, instead they're bundled with WM+. And for the sake of arguement that the pricecut indeed boost the sales, how do we know that its the pricecut and not because of the holiday season months? Just remember in 2008 the Wii sold 800,000 in NA alone accroding to NPD.

Yeah and before the cut the Wii was on track to sell 250k in September in NA

Guess what, they cut the price and it sold almost double that...
