The Concept of Value, or Why Price Cuts Can Fail What makes a product valuable to a consumer? The answer is simple: if a product satisfies the needs of the consumer, then the consumer will consider the product valuable. On the other hand, if a product does not satisfy the needs of the consumer then it is not very valuable to them at all. In order to develop a successful product, companies need to ensure that the services offered by their product are what consumers deem valuable. If they can do this they have a product that is valuable to consumers and is likely to do well. If there is a mismatch between the services offered by the product and what consumers consider valuable then the product can struggle, regardless of the effort spent marketing and developing it. The ongoing conflict between the PS3 and the Wii demonstrates this quite clearly. True The PS3 is undoubtedly an impressive piece of equipment. Not only does it offer superior graphics, it is also capable of playing Blu-ray disks. What does this tell us about how Sony perceives the market? The inclusion of superior graphics suggests that Sony believes that consumers value graphics. Similarly, the inclusion of Blu-ray playing capabilities, suggests that Sony believes that consumer also value the ability to play Blu-ray disks. Its not got superior graphics, in fact Sony sacrificed the ability to put better graphics in the machine and billions of dollars to put Blu ray inside. Its an and or not a plus and a plus. |

.......Did you just say that PS3 graphics aren't superior to Wii's graphics, and that they sacraficed better graphics in order to include Blu-ray? I've never heard anyone argue about that second point, so I don't know whether it's true or not, but........
You said PS3's grahpics aren't superior to the Wii's? My whole grasp on reality is being distorted right now.
