| Lingyis said: i actually think this trend can last a little while... there really are sooo many DS's in japan. the penetration of slim PSPs can go up, but DS really is pretty much saturated. and clearly, there's a difference between slim PSP and the old PSPs, just like DS Lite and DS. i think in japan, people are still catching up to upgrading their PSPs to slim PSPs. just look at PSP sales in the last 12 weeks or something like that. it has been within striking distance of the DS for a while. so it's possible it's just a one time thing, but i wouldn't be terribly surprised if the sales pattern holds up. |
Saturated at the current price point is a possibility, however I think there is room for price cutting to stimulate sales
