Well, sure, it was droped to $399, but did you also take into consideration that $399 is a much more attractive price point? The 360 sold wonderfully worldwide, at $399 (not including Japan, since they hate the 360) but still, $400 is a point that a LOT more people are willing to pay for, and then add the Sony brand loyalty, and that results in a CONSTANT stream of sales.....it's still selling well half way into December I mean, a lot have said that the Japanese are just liking the new SKU and it will wear off......if Sony made a new SKU at $249, and sales increased, would you say that it was "because of a price cut and a new SKU, sales will go back down" or would you realize that the only thing holding PS3 back is the price? |
All of those posts were made during the 2-3 week period were the PS3 actually outsold the Wii in Japan. Obviously history has proven them correct. I do agree with your point though. $400 seems to be one of the breaking points for consoles and should help the PS3 tremendously next year. It will drop down considerably after the holidays of course, but so will everything else. I expect it to continue to sell at about the same rate as the 360 until some of the big name titles that are worth anything comes out. After that I am unsure. I do look forward to Killzone 2 flopping though.
Sorry, I can't help but make fun of that game because it is so over-hyped and put in the same league as the PS3s true blockbuster titles.
