Perhaps... but for how long? A price drop isnt going to double Wii sales to take them to last years numbers for any sustained period. No chance. At best price cuts will help match last years numbers for perhaps the PS3, the rest are looking at being down this year in EMEAA. The gen is shrinking, dont care what people say about magical price points. |
After 5 years youd expect any Gen to be in decline in terms of year on year hardware sales, but it will decline over a couple of years happily while software makers happily ride out the huge install base, i think software is down just like all industrys are down with the world wide money problems, just today Portugal are now asking to be bailed out by the EU financially.
Also until PS3 has its price reduced to 199 or less in $, £ and Euros i dont think weve seen its peak year. Magical price points for luxury items do exist.
