| RolStoppable said: If you are doing such a weird comparison for the sake of showing the strength of the PlayStation brand (at least that's what I think that you are trying to say), then you should look at the complete picture. Your point seems to be that consumers still spent as much money on the PS3 as they did on the PS2 with the most significant difference being the number of consumers. It shrinked, but that was offset by higher spending of each individual. Therefore, demand for the PS3 is high and another price cut will enable it to sell 20m or more consoles in a year. Now I am not sure why you even bother with so many numbers, you could have just said something like "80 % of all console sales happen at $199 or less" and then you wouldn't have come across as confusing. So what is the complete picture? Doing the same comparison for Xbox vs. 360 and Gamecube vs. Wii as well and applying the same (twisted) logic as you did to the PS2 vs. PS3 comparison. The result is going to be nothing short of mindboggling. |
actually, it works perfectly. More money spent on hardware for each of those, and those brands are stronger than they were. how is it mindboggling? Demand increased on both. Demand on ps3 is level with the ps2.
I don't have the data to show that X% sales happen at a certain price. I do have this top line growth, which in business is still very much important.
