I'm only going to use U.S. numbers, as this is where the confusion lies the most, as other territories have had less SKUs. The PlayStation 3 launched in November of 2006 with two separate SKUs: One had a sixty gigabyte hard drive (600). It also had wireless, and memory card readers, unlike the twenty gigabyte version (500) which lacked the aforementioned amenities. Shortly thereafter, Sony Computer Enertainment America decided that the demand for the twenty gig was not strong, and decided to drop it. After that, Sony dropped the price of the sixty gigabyte model to five hundred US dollars. They then introduced the Eighty gigabyte Motorstorm Limited Edition pack for six hundred US dollars. So for those keeping count, that is one price drop. The forty gigabyte Version of the PS3 came out in november, sans b/c, memory card readers, and two usb ports. It was priced at US 400. This is not a price drop, because it is a whole different Sku. And the 80 gigabyte received a price drop to 500 US. So yes, the PS3 has had "two price drops" on two separate Skus. By that same token, the Microsoft XBOX 360 has had three right? Thank you everyone for reading, as clearly, there was some confusion over the different PS3 Skus. Hopefully this will quell the two price drops in six months line... mmkay? |
Finally someone creating a thread about this. I was getting pretty sick of people saying that the ps3 got two price cuts.
