I didn't say we couldn't discuss sales, obviously I wouldn't be here either if I felt that way. But my opinion means little to shareholders, manufacturers, and higher-ups making money. As far as I'm concerned, if Sony expected a slow burner (which they did), and this is where it started, I see nothing wrong with it, especially if such sales are sustained. |
Expecting somethint to sell poorly isn't a defense for something selling poorly.
Afterall, move had to cost quite a bit of money. If I spend ten million dollars developing a gun that shoots mustard, and I only expect 1 to sell to myself for $5.99 and I sell 2... it still sold poorly.
It selling how it does means a lot to shareholders, manufactuers and higher ups... because it puts it still in a troubled situation. For all we know, Sony could of expected it to sell slow, simply because they realized via their market research that it was going to sell poorly.
We don't really know any better then we did before launch if it'll succeed or fail. All you can really say definitly... is that it's opening sales didn't make it a successs.
