| Dianko said: I'd like to make one last comment about PS3 leading price drops. Do you all think that having so many price cuts in such a short period could hurt consumer confidence? After all, I recall when Xbox lowered it's price in less than a year, they had to placate customers in Japan and Europe by offering free games and controllers to those that bought their system early. I feel that cutting too much in too short a period could anger customers. But then I thought RRoD would fuck over MS, so who knows. |
What customers? No one was buying it :p
Seriously though, yes to your question. But i don't think the rate it has dropped over the time it has been out is cause for that type of concern. Plus, most everyone who bought a PS3 at launch (60 Gig here) knew it was overpriced. Most early adopters recognize that they are paying a premium for it.
If a company dropped something $100, and then a month later did it again (like Apple did), that would be a different story.
