Source, i'm sorry, but if Sony will cut the price to 200$ this year, they will ship a LOT more than 15 million units in this FY. |
Not really. Last fiscal year Sony sold 13 million PS3s. This was a year with a $100 price cut and exclusives releases like Uncharted 2, God of War III, and Final Fantasy XIII in Japan. $199.99 seems like a big drop, but it's not any bigger than the drop last year and Gran Turismo 5 will sell a ton of systems, but not so many that it would amount to the 2 million systems more that Sony plans to ship this year over last.

Let's assume that it has the same effect.
Right now, the PS3 is selling over 33% up YoY, if this trend continues with another price-cut this year, that means that for this FY the PS3 will ship 13 mil + (13*0.33), which stands for 17.3 units, shipped.

the trend of being up YoY by that much will end in September when the slim launched last year. At that time it could be down YoY

Yeah, it probably will, but if there's another PS3 price drop to 199$, one can only assume that it will have the same effect as the previous drop.
Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
