Your picking and choosing of the variables, in this regard being the SKUs is hilarious to say the least. It just doesn't work like that. It would be like me saying something ludicrous such as my launch 3DS being $3490AUD, and DSE selling a 3DS for $199AUD with a game(which they did) meaning the drop percentage wise with the game factored in comes to a drop >50% 

60GB PS3 on launch was $599, and in 2007 60GB was $499, simple as that. 

As for the software sales I want to wait a few weeks if not months until the holiday season is well over in order to see more rounded attach rates before we comment. Because it'd be a lie to say post launch title third party software sales are anything short of abysmal for the system.

I am talking about official SKUs though and once again you didn't address the European price drop. I guess that counts as silent agreement that the 3DS price drop wasn't unprecedented in its magnitude.

Also, you aren't the one to talk about cherrypicking. Not only did you choose to ignore the European price history of the PS3, but for 3DS software sales you are already moving the goalposts in advance by restricting it to third party software for no logical reason.


I live in Australia which is regarded as PAL in the gaming world. It was a $200 drop, yet it initially went from $1000 to $800 which is a lower percentage than $250-170 or $350AUD-250. I want to see actual figures in Europe of the official drop of the 60GB SKU only, and not your conjecture about 20GB and 40GB SKUs which doesn't apply due to the cessation one of those SKUs.

Also I didn't just limit it to third party. You said the people are aware of what they're buying. I pointed out third party software because third party figures seem to say otherwise. That and MK Wiis attachment rate is higher than MK7s which is why I said wait a few weeks or months, it's to the 3DS's advantage. I'm not attacking anything, I'm stating fact, which is why I want to see the actual European price drop of the 60GB SKU.
