It didn't. The sales overall have been very low, so we have no idea if they would have sold more or not. Most likely, they would not of. This shortage is being very over played. This was a shortage from Gamestop. I just checked Amazon and they have PS3s in stock. Target does too. Walmart and Bestbuy are out of the cheaper models, but not of more expensive ones. This is misconception number 2. There have never been an increase in demand that was not seasonal (i.e. Christmas). There has only been an increase in Quanity Demanded. What's the difference? Changes in demand mean that consumers will buy more units at the same price. If Peanut butter is proven to be good for young children, peanut butter sales will go up. When "Supersize Me," came out, demand for McDonalds went down. Quanity Demanded is what we demand at a set price level. When prices goes up, we demand less and when price goes down, we demand more. What is happening to the PS3 is actually very bad. They are not increase in demand like Nintendo is. They only sell more units when the price falls. PS3s are not totally out of stock, just the ones that are cheap. If consumers really had to have PS3s, the refurbished ones and the higher priced ones would be out of stock, but they are not. In conclusion, the PS3 would have not beated the 360. There is not a huge demand for PS3s, and the sales it would be seeing are from price drops. |
in conclusion, no matter what your just one of those people that wuill never admit it. your just jealous of ps3's success and thats all there is to it.
