| Parokki said: I think the next few years of the PS3 are going to be spent with periodic raises in profitability, that almost manage to make the console profitable every time, but increased competition force Sony to bleed money to stay in the race. Remember, it took the PS3 two major price cuts to go slightly above the weekly sales of the 360, which has only had one smaller price cut, and the Wii is far ahead of rest with no price cut at all. The Wii doesn't even need one, but the 360 is about to drop prices, and Sony is going to have to decide between getting left futher behind, and losing more money. I expect the pattern to repeat at least a few times before the end of the gen. |
Yeah if I was MS I would cut like $100-150 off the price of every SKU, not only would it likely ignite sales, but it would also stick a knife in Sony, because they would bleed money even more trying to stay competitive, and MS has deeper pockets
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
