| leo-j said: PS2 dropped to $199 "mass market" and im tired of the source and people saying that mass market is being overrated, last gen nintendo was touting the mass market price point with the gamecube, and so was sony, and MICROSOFT said most of a console's sales come after they reach the $199 price point, therefore the ps2 dropped to $199 and began to see it's highest sales, and peak sales years, the ps3 has a huge amount of growth oppurtunity, but must drop price before nintendo starts to promote it's next console, or the price cut wont have as big as an affect as it could at the moment |
Don't you realize that PS2 (and most other consoles, as manufacturers have stated according to you) sold the majority of its sales at under $199 because it got there earlier? Take this as an example: if the PS4 launches at $199, it'll sell 100% of its sales at or below the "magic mass market price". The PS3 is soon gonna be 5 years old - it has sold most of what it's gonna sell, regardless of its price.
Also, on topic, this is getting to be a joke. The PS3 is not gonna top 100m and it's not gonna come first. Also, as TheSource's analysis pointed out, these figures are thoroughly misleading because of the consoles' launches in different regions.
Seriously, stop fighting a long lost battle and try to support the PS4 by bashng Project Cafe instead.
