Both Sony and microsoft came in with a price they thought would hit mass market appeal for their systems--but (pay attention here) nintendo came in with a vastly lower price and got the average joe (our mass market) consumer wondering why would i pay400-600- dollars for a game machine when chris down the street says this one is a blast and is only 250 that is how they set the mass market price--sure you and i the more informed consumer can see the value/price point for the other two should be higher but joe smoe dose not and this is why nintendo right now is controling the price--what they say is being taken as gold and teh other two are havng to play catch up to get more people to buy the systems |
i agree but if they wanted it to be mass market they would not of inculded blu-ray LOL. nintendo went the cheap way (again) and it has paid off. sony didnt and it is just starting to work for them at 400.
but even if sony made mass market price (which to you is 250) i dont think they would be good for them as they would lose money but really good for us so its just not gonna happen and all 3 companies will be different prices and make money.
199.99 is to me is what people will love to pay for a console and i dont think that has changed. but as 10 million people on ps3 17 million on 360 and 20 million and wii people will pay a little more for a little more and some will not.
