| Sal.Paradise said: No weird view mate, people (you) rail on Sony for releasing a system that doesn't sell and not supporting it with enough content or doing anything much so far to 'save' it, and then when Sony finally implement a strategy to try to increase hardware sales, people use it as another cheap opportunity to rail on them once again for having to implement the strategy in the first place. Don't try and spin it into something else, you'll take any oppurtunity to shit on them that you can take, that's how you are and everyone knows it. They cut the price? Such a desperate move lmao Sony! They don't cut the price? Sony have just given up on vita lmao what a disaster! Sony do practically anything else realistic? Lmao what a mess, such a desperate move lmao Sony!! I'm just growing tired of it that's all, you've been told about your ways many times. Now, as for the 3ds price cut, it's nice of you to mention something about us 'Sony fans' as if we're a hivemind, but I'll certainly call it a desperate move if Sony decides to cut the price and fall into a half a billion dollar loss, yes. As it is, they're losing revenue from the few people that would buy both versions of the game, while incentivising current PS3 owners to buy the hardware by owning content for the system already, as well as pushing a small number people to buy the game as they see the added value for their future Vita purchase. Whatever though, this is a Vita thread so it's a great excuse to be as negative as possible about Sony and remind all the hivemind of Sony fans here what your position is on their product. As if we couldn't already guess. |
I think he has a point, though -- calling one of those moves desperate but not the other seems pretty heavily biased. Personally I don't think either is "desperate." Both moves are what the consoles need. 3DS couldn't sell at $250, so they dropped the price. It's already selling for a profit again. Most PS3 owners don't see the appeal of the Vita just yet, so Sony offers an excellent incentive to buy one. Both are just good business sense.
