| Lawlight said: Sales peak? Where are you getting that from? The system costs more right now than the Wii at launch. I'd say it'll peak when it reaches the mainstream price of $149. If at $129, the PS3 isn't able to 100M sold, then you'll be right. But as it stands, the PS3 is at 78-79M at $270 (and that's the lowest price worldwide). As the price becomes affordable in developing countries, the sales will keep accumulating. Sales aren't going to die any time soon. Also, 78-79M is not 1/3rd of 155-160M. |
Yes, sales peak. As in it will not sell as many units year over year as it did in 2011, hence its sales have peaked.
As for your prices, I don't think you grasp the actual BOM in the PS3. Outside of retailer prices to reduce inventory, we may never see the PS3 officially priced at $129. Again, this is the PS3, not the PS2. You can't extrapolate equally from one to the other. Different factors, different market forces, different BOM, etc...
