That's also the year of the Slim, and the turning point for PS3 sales. That price cut was $100, which was more dramatic because it made PS3 affordable. What about other Black Fridays? |
The longer a console generation lasts and the later it becomes, the harder it becomes to make dramatic price cuts. There is no way the PS2 can afford a $100 price drop now because it would make the console free if you are going to use the 2009 PS3 "price drop" of a $100 as an example. It's relatve as time goes on. The $300 PS3 price point in 2009 was 75% of the previous $400 PS3 model. So a current $75 price drop to $225 ($225 is 75% of the previous $300 price point ofthe PS3) would be more in line of the 2009 "price drop." So a $50 price drop is not too far off. And what about the other Black Fridays? You first said the "360 always got a bigger boost." What is your reasoning why?
