Well that's not what people were saying a few weeks ago. 2 weeks after the pricecut they were all saying it was a failure! |
Well considering 360 is down to 66k in Europe for the week ending 12th April its hard to call the price cut a big success...
The console jumped up 50k becuase of the price cut and Easter ...
Then stayed about the same ...
Fell to 75k .... where people though it might sit around untill GTA4 boost ...
Now its at 66k ... a mere 20k above what 360 was previously selling in Europe ...
If you ask me the pricecut is a definate failure for M$ ... they should of extended the price cut to Australia/ New Zealand / Asia, as these regions WOULD of seen sales increases rather than people sitting on the fence ...
In the end i think Microsoft has been left with 3 choices
a) Drop the price in other regions so their pricing is in line with Europe / US
b) Drop the price in the US slightly in order to temporialy boost world wide sales ( untill GTA4 gives them a sustained boost for a month or so )
c) Claim the price drop was due to the weakening USD, which meant that Microsoft could finally treat European's properly ( instead of ripping them off ... not that SONY / Nintendo / EA dosn't also price excessivly high)
