CrazzyMan said: the PS2 managed one year to sell 20 million units, and that was it's third year, PS3 apart MGS4, DMC4, GTA4, FFXIII, GT5 have MORE BIG and AA games in 2008. Like KZ2, Resisatnce 2, Tekken6, LBP, WKS, SC4 and etc. 2nd PS3 year is MUCH GREATER then 2nd PS2 year was in terms of games. Also imagine how many people will buy a Wii for $149 when they drop the price (if they ever do). Price is NOT holding people from buying Wii. It`s CHEAP.
Like the Wii price drop, I doubt the PS3 will sell 20 million this year alone, even with big games and price drops. Well, we will know pretty soon, after one week, if there will be a price drop. =) |
The PS2 did have a price drop it's second year in NA of $100, so that equals the price drop the PS3 might have. The PS2 also had a price drop of $20 in NA in it's third year. The difference between the PS2 and PS3: The PS2 was selling better, so it didn't need a price cut.
And by your logic the PS2 should have sold way more in it's second year because it had the CHEAP price of $199, which is still $50 less than the Wii.
I don't see why anyone would buy the PS3 at $299, unless they want HD graphics and more limited controls? I don't even get where you are going with that second line about Wii at $99.
We will know after a week if the PS3 gets a price drop. We won't know if that'll help it [much].
