| M.U.G.E.N said: you clearly have no idea about the true strength of ps3 the low price point will help it immensely in EMEAA, it's just a matter of time. compared to the competition PS3 is in a lot of markets that have a huge PS following, the only issue they have is the price point because it's just way way too expensive for them at this point with conversion rates Wii and 360 will die out within a short time period their successor comes out in comparison, IF we follow how it has been in the past. PS3 won't die that soon, I can see it selling good to ok numbers even in 2015. And a 100 price drop did wonders for the PS3 since last year, you can't deny that. Not all consoles sales respond the same way as you may think. |
Low price point will help, but PS3 will never get there. Or at least not early enough to get any sales. In MEAA, only 99$ or below will have an effect. And, looking at PS3 manufacturing costs, it is almost impossible for PS3 to hit such a price point in time.
By the way, mind showing me data about how much the NES sold after the SNES? The SNES after the N64? Just for comparison. Anyway, Playstations have had legs for three main reasons, complete and utter domination, lots of exclusive third party support and legs due to low price point in MEAA. None of those apply here.
For your last point, it's debatable, isn't it? Did it sell because of the price cut or the redesign? Will a further price cut do the same?
