| Pionner said: Yeah but the blow can be harder if they wait until sales slow down and do a $299 price cut. It's clear even with XB1 $50 cheaper it still can't beat the PS4. Spring seems so random. |
Why wait for sales to slow down to try and pick them back up when you can try to take already high sales and make them even higher?
Why would you want to drop price at any other time than the time when your heavy hitting games release? The games increase sales, the price cut increases them further. The price cut increases consoles sale, which in turn also increases software sales. maximizing the potential of your big exclusives and 3rd party partnerships makes a lot of sense. It's win/win.
It would also be a great move since the effects of this cut would be felt from now until the holidays and possibly beyond, because for every sale the PS4 can take from the XB1 can have a trickle down effect due to friends buying what friends buy. At no point is increased marketshare a bad thing, especially when you're already in the drivers seat and making profit on each unit.
More consoles sold = more peripherals sold = more games sold = better than their current state, even if their current state is very good.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
