This is just hypothetical stuff.

 

What would have happened if all 3 consoles were $299.99

 

To Figure out: # of Consoles Sold * Price =  Revenue,    Revenue/299  = # of Consoles sold if price was 299

*Of course these figures are off because nobody could actually pinpoint the number of consoles sold...but this is what I got.

*Also I assumed the highest SKU for the PS3 and 360, $599 for PS3, $399 for 360 (didn't calculate elite) 

 

XBOX 360:

Current:  9.74 Million-18 months

$299.99: 12.99 Million - 18 months, 4.32 Million in 6 months

 

Wii:

Current: 7.51 Million - 6 months

$299.99:  6.25 Million - 6 months

 

PS3:

Current: 3.27 Million - 6 months

$299.99:  6.55 Million - 6 months

 

So the sales would equal:

 

#1 - PS3 (6.55 Million)

#2 - Wii ( 6.25 Million)

#3 - 360 (4.32 Million)

 

Hmm....interesting...looks like Sony has made the most revenue (in the first 6 months) but also taken the biggest loss.

 

Well hope you had fun reading.
