| mrstickball said: Leo-J, like myself, and many others, anticipated declining demand and/or fewer production increases from Nintendo for the Wii. Which we were wrong. Whereas, many people assumed earlier in the year something would happen for the PS3 to spark demand (games like Lair, HS, Uncharted, JPY bundles, price drops, ect). |
And if all those things you said were predicted, then you were predicting Sony to almost surely break itself. The key point to PS3 getting this had nothing to do with the games. Those are irrelevant right now. It's been the Nes SKU's and pricedrops, not to mention the better success in EO for PS3 and Sony brand as a whole.
But what allowed this to happen is that Sony floated $3 billion of its own stock, making them able to do this withouth making losses too much. None of yall forsaw this or had any idea they'd do this. Yall predicted pricedrops and new bundles for reasons that didn't make any economical sense whatsoever. Thus not expecting them at all was probably the main thing to forsee, and would have been right if that floating hadn't had happened.
Anyone, at least I think, that predicted PS3 sales would increase cause of a pricedrop or new cheaper SKU, was making that out of pure fantasy, not out of analysis of the market, as without knowing about the floating of the stock, this wouldn't have been something that would have been achievable.
