| TheSource said: The terms in this thread aren't absolute. PS3 numbers do need to improve in the UK and US as those are the largest Western video game markets. Even though those markets are the strongest in absolute numbers for PS3, the figures could be far stronger. Its a bit like how the 2-3m X360s legally sold in Mexico is an amazing number for that market but the 1.5m X360s sold in Japan is a terrible number. Both countries have over 100m people, both are trillion dollar economies with low unemployment - but Mexico has purchasing power of $13,000 per person and a $1.2b video game market while Japan has purchasing power of $45,000 per person and a $6b video game market. For a 16% price cut, and no major games a 65% lift is actually pretty good. Could see something like 30k - 65k - 100k this week pretty easily and then the figures would wind down fairly rapidly to their new threshold of 140k - 175k before the rush of major fall content starts to arrive in two months. |
£250 to £199, so a 20% cut
