| MikeB said: @ rocketpig Man, you really need to lay off online surveys and polls. He asked a question, IMO the poll is of more value than your average meaningless forum opinion comment. I think it answers his question why many think if PS3 hit PS2-like pricing the platform will see similar or maybe even much better gains (value for money). |
- Internet polls are virtually useless due to multiple voting, possible tampering, etc.
- A tech site poll represents an extremely skewed demographic.
- Intent to purchase polls are even more useless than internet polls. It's easy to say "yes" to anything, a lot harder to put your wallet where your mouse finger is.
If you want real information on how the public will react to a price cut, your best bet would be to look at previous systems and their sales spikes after price drops. There is enough data on the subject to at least get a good idea of how the market will react to a $200 PS3.
Better than an internet poll, anyway. Throwing darts at a board blindfolded will often turn out more accurate results than your average online poll.
