ummm "teh masses"???, how can we know if every single ps3 shipped at lauch for 599.99 sold out only moments after hitting store shelves, not fair if you ask me, and please tell me how in the hell 599 is a mass market price, Sony knew exactly what they were doing, from the start it's just only now most of the industry (the same people who predicted TEH DOOMZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) are starting to see it. just to Sony in the entertainment industry entertainment comes first, hard to believe seeing how much Sony demolished during the ps1 and ps2 era but then I present you with the very reason Sony is here, which isn't to make a quick buck, they did it as revenge to get back at the back stabbing Nintendo. Product first profit later, is what Sony is thinking, just people looked at the financials and though the "later" would never get here, just like with the games, all in due time...... and did Sony just post a profit this last quarter..... learned their lesson *facepalm* what lesson, that people are retarded and rarely listen, so if they don't sell 12 billion units at lauch and have a 10 year library of AAA games AT LAUNCH and don't make billions of profit people will think they are failures and need to "learn a lesson" yeah I think they learned that lesson, oh ye arrogant Sony who lauch a console for almost 300 dollars LESS than what it's worth and then have the nerve to sell every single unit..... |
just like every console did this gen? You know why game systems sell out so quickly when they launch? It isn't because people are buying them to play them, they are buying them up to put on ebay to make a quick buck. So when it comes christmas time and all those systems are sold out in stores, the desperate parents pay way more than they are worth. That is the secret to the long lines of all three console launches.
In fact, at my best buy there was a guy who paid 15 other people to wait in line with him, because it was a limit of one per customer. You think he wanted 15 ps3's for himself?
