no matter what it does it never seems to compete in America. I think the install base already had a 360 or friends with it by the time PS3 got priced competitively. Even in years like 09 and 11 when PS3 had incredible first party offerings and price reductions it couldn't make a dent. Europe on the other hand... |
You are heavily misinformed. PS3 is very much competitive in America. In fact in 2009, the release of the PS3 slim sales stood at 4.1m for PS3 and 4.7m for 360 in America. It's all about pricing and marketing. The Slim PS3 provided a decrease in price and a resurgance in consoumer interested through a new redesign and more marketing and promotions.
It's only recently when the Ps3 has struggled to keep up with the 360 in America. That is due to the release of Kinect and the continued gap in prices.(in XBox 360s favor). I say Sony should release that 12gig PS3 Super Slim here in the US and couple that with a price cut across the board. A perfect time to announce this would be at the Playstation Meeting.
