Good for you. Here is what most people who pay attention see: Gran Turismo 5: 1.10 Million on GT4, it's gotta chance to sell a couple hundred thousand systems in Japan at most. Heavenly Sword: They won't buy God of War, why would they buy God of War as a woman? Hot Shots Golf 5: A casual golf game on a hardcore system, last one sold 1.34 million. Good luck with that. The Last Remnant: See; White Knight Story and Folksoul. Bladestorm: Becase the Japanese are all over war games. (Man i hope you understand sarcasm) Most of these will probably be good games, but that doesn't mean they sell systems. As far as a price cut goes, Sony cannot afford that. They suffered HUGE losses to get it out at a reasonable price in Japan and to take a cut. What on earth makes you think that they have the money to cut it again in Japan? They'll be lucky to have the money to cut it in America and Europe. Japan has to be their biggest disappointment, with all the effort and money they spent to try and get the japanese to buy their system. |
So whats your point ?
I know those games doesnt sell 4 million each (maybe FF or DQ ) .But those games will sell the console to the hardcore gamer and many casuals (Eye of Judgement ,PES ,Hot Shots ,Singstar that we didnt mention it ) and build an active fanbase that will buy many games each month unlike the casual crowd of the Wii .
And I repeat to you what it has been said before about price cuts ,if you cut the price you receive a 100-200 hit ,if you dont you dont sell millions of them and take a 500-600 hit by each produced .Thats pretty clear ,the thing is cut the price to push as many consoles as possible in households and then recover some money from royalties by both BR movies and games (third party ) and your own game sales.
