Every major analyst and game website has discussed the reasoning behind the new pricing model. It is a test to see if low income families that don't have a lump sum of cash available will be drawn into a cheaper console with a monthly fee. People are predicting it will be used in the next generation of consoles to draw people into the userbase much quicker than they would typically opt in due to price.

Even IGN had an article about this. You have to be blatantly trying to stir up shit to claim like no one knows why they would suddenly come out with this pricing model. It is simply to test the waters for next gen. Stop with the crazy theories, they look desperate.

You act like theories act independantly from one another.

Tell me this Mendicate.

You go to test the waters of a new pricing model. Expecting it to increase sales, should you order more consoles in expectation of higher demand?

You're obviously a smart fellow, so you don't really need to answer this.

That depends on how much of an impact you believe it will have on sales. Even if you believe it will have a sizeable increase (which I don't think it will) that does not mean the increased shipments came in almost half a year ago.
