It wasn't a cut. It was an upgrade to their Pro SKU in a sneaky way. Just like dropping the 80GB to the 40GB price wasn't a price cut. And yes, if both Nintendo and MS finish a normal generation's time in 2012, and the PS3 stays a few more years, if it passes either of them after that time period it doesn't count. I'm glad we agree on this. |
Yes, in fact I was just meaning the case of only MS pulling out while both Wii and PS3 were still running.
OTOH, if you think about it, even only one console managing to still sell enough to justify the effort when the others can't anymore would be, if not a victory, an achievement, and a quite important one for Sony, if it manages to do it, as with PS3 starting profiting quite late, it will be advisable to sell it as long as possible and viable.
About the cut, well that argument looks a lot like MS damage control PR after its cut worked less than competitors' ones, but maybe it's to early to talk, we'll have to wait and see sales after Xmas to get some longer term trends.
