| ultraslick said: I think Sony will introduce Move as being bundled with every future PS3 that is manufactured. This will include The PS3 120 gig console, the PSeye, a Move wand + sub controller, Move Sports game, and a DS3 controller all for the amazing price of $300. they will drop the price of existing consoles to a clearance price of $250, and if manufacturing costs at the time of Move introduction permit, then Sony will probably stuff the channel with non move ($250) sku's knowing that the price point will sell like hotcakes. The $250 sku's will sell out relatively quickly leaving a sku at the same price as before ($300), but now bundled with the complete move experience. This is almost certainly what Sony will do if they are serious about the introduction of the motion controller, and I think they are. All of this combined with holiday releases of GT and... others (Agent, FFXIII vs. ?) will neutralize any affect Natal will have and put Sony in a real position to challenge Nintendo for the casual sales. |
^My previous post on this thread states something similar but I don't think they will bundle Move with every PS3. Not everybody wants Move and they will lose more money that way.
I suggest a "Core PS3" for $250 including just the DS3 controller. And the PS3 Move, including all you listed above EXCEPT THE DS3. Why? 'cause that way IT MIRRORS THE Wii Package side by side, and they can sell extra DS3 to those who want to play "classic games".
You know they will sell the "complete Move Pack" (PSeye, both remotes and game) separetely for those who already own a PS3 or whatever. My guess is they will price it at $89. You save around $40-$45 by buying the bundle if that's what you want (options, options), but you don't get the DS3 (for which you would need to spend around $45) .
I repeat again, the key is to drill into the Wii's Market. And the MUST price the Move bundle aggresively. More than $300 is a big NO. At $300 they have a serious case against the Wii and can't edge it with the right marketing, Blu-ray, Netflix, PSN free online, 120GB HDD < the Wii can't touch that.
