ok, so your logic is that a new SKU can't be a 'price drop'
so i can launch a console today for $1000 that is a 100gb model of my product
then next month I discontinue that one and create a new sku for an 80gb model that I price at $500
that would NOT be a price drop by your logic
however, to the average consumer, it IS a price drop...the price dropped from 1000 to 500
originally the ps3 cost 600 for the most expensive model...the most expensive is now 500...that is a drop to consumers
originally the ps3 cost 500 for the cheapest model...the cheapest model is now 400...that is a drop to consumers
we can argue over semantics and spin it how we want all day long, but to the consumer, the ps3 is now cheaper to get into and is also cheaper to get the top model
Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08. Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could.
