| starcraft said: It's funny that fanboys who declared that MS HAD to drop the price now say it happened to early. Furthermore, it's hilarious that people see a 40% boost in sales as being "utter failure." More than anything I'm in hysterics that people that emphatically declared that the Arcade was a dud console that noone should buy now use it as a justification to claim that the 360 is cheaper than the Wii............... |
It was 40% only for the first week. The weekly numbers are only going to drop from here, as all price cuts have an immediate spike, then a drop off.
The question is how much will it drop off. A 40% boost wasn't enough to put it past the ps3, and it could very well drop back to pre-price cut levels over the next few weeks given how small the initial boost was.
If THAT happens, then it is most certainly a failure.
You have to remember, when the ps3 had it's initial price cut in July (60gb to $499 USD) sales spiked something like 178%. After that sales plummeted until the release of the 40gb.
