Price drops are just an artificial means to boost sales; the effects are never permanent, always stop-gap, and often have immediate repercussions once their effects wear off. At $250, the PS3 would briefly experience higher sales, but guess what? It would drop off to even lower numbers than it had before the boost in sales. |
Yeah, because both the PSP and 360 plummeted to pre-price cut levels after they became cheaper.
I agree with most of what you've posted, but this is ridiculous. The main reason that the PS3 has sold poorly is its price. At $250, it would be a mere $50 above mass market price point, and hence the problem would be solved. I'm not saying that its sales would match that of the Wii, but they'd obviously see a sustained increase.
