Oops, totally didn't think that all the way through. I was going to say that $300 would be worth 10-15 mil, but I thought that might be a stretch. I guess, thinking about how they just dropped the price, 10-15 mil is more in line with how many more consoles the PS3 will sell at $300. I suppose the PS3 has 80 million in its sights.
To be honest though, I never see the PS3 selling for $100, ever. They aren't going to be able to cram wifi, Blu-Ray, and a hard drive into the PS3 and sell it for $100, to think so is foolish. It will be too late in the generation for sales to matter, and Sony will focus more on making money with each console sold. |
did you ever think you would see something like a Netbook with (2 ) core processor with 1 GB of ram and a 160 GB Hardrive an had also included with wifi, 3G connectivity bluetooth ,an an a web cam with all of that connectivity and function sell for under $300.00?
I have been in the IT industry for a very long time, the NETBOOK is one of the if not the most disruptive technology in the PC industry as the Iphone has been in the Cellphone industry.
when i mean disruptive:
Disruptive technology and disruptive innovation are terms used in business and technology literature to describe
Innovations that improve a product or service in ways that the market does not expect, typically by being lower priced or designed for a different set of consumers.
Disruptive innovations can be broadly classified into low-end and new-market disruptive innovations. A new-market disruptive innovation is often aimed at non-consumption (i.e., consumers who would not have used the products already on the market), whereas a lower-end disruptive innovation is aimed at mainstream customers for whom price is more important than quality.Disruptive technologies are particularly threatening to the leaders of an existing market, because they are competition coming from an unexpected direction. A disruptive technology can come to dominate an existing market by either filling a role in a new market that the older technology could not fill (as cheaper, lower capacity but smaller-sized flash memory is doing for for personal data storage in the 2000's, or by successively moving up-market through performance improvements until finally displacing the market incumbents (as digital photography has replaces film photography).
In contrast to "disruptive innovation", a "sustaining" innovation does not have an effect on existing markets. Sustaining innovations may be either "discontinuous"
(i.e. "revolutionary") or "continuous" (i.e. "evolutionary"). Revolutionary innovations are not always disruptive. Although the automobile was a revolutionary innovation, it is not a disruptive innovation, because early automobiles were expensive luxury items that did not disrupt the market for horse-drawn vehicles. The market remained intact until the debut of the lower priced ford model t in 1908,
do I think the PS3 would go to $99.00 most likely no , because I think sony feel's that the value of the PS3 is worth more than that hell even in 2016 the PS3 would in all likelyhood would still be worth more of value than $100.00!
about $149.00 is most likely the lowest it would ever go and I bet it would still be selling well into the next generation .
just like the current xbox60 , thre is just too much functionality that these systems have that will still keep them viable.
since they both can act as a NETFLIX box, which is just one function. but these boxes firmware's can be updated, thus the box can still be used even if you get a new system that is an upgrade over these. just for that function alone, not including the movies you can download and stream, not to mention the game's. they could still be used in a 2nd bedroom if you have kid's.
