No I didn't forget about 2007.  That was their 1st pricedrop, where the PS3 became $500

But it seems you forgot, or simply didn't know, that the PS3 sold 8 million units in 2007.....inspite of your linked Doom & Gloom articles.

 

My point is,

-in 2007, Sony wanted to price drop.

-In 2008 Sony wanted to price drop

-in 2009 Sony wanted to price drop

-In 2010 Sony DIDN'T want to price drop.

-In 2011 Sony wanted to price drop.

 

How this is all bad.....well, it's beyond me.  But the fact is, almost every year Sony has price dropped, and PS3 is doing great.  What's the problem?  I see none.

While 360 hasnt officially dropped price since 2008, yet is still maintaining 2nd place to this day. The problem is that this whole time PS3 was making gains, it was clawing and scratching for every inch, while MS was coasting for the past 4 years.

Maybe Microsoft Games couldn't afford a price drop.....

RROD and all.

 

Lots of people would scoff at that statement, but if you understand that the XBOX brand has actually lost more $ over the last 10 years than it has made, and investors were calling for an end to the XBOX brand, then you'd understand how serious my statement is.
