it will definitely bring a shortterm boost, but the real question will be how much of an longterm effect it will have.


So far, the only price cuts which didn't have a long term effect were PS3/360's in Japan. The keyword is Japan. Therefore, I think this will very likely have a long term effect.

 

 

i was not deniing that it won't have a long term effect, i am just not sure how big that effect will be.

i am not sure if expecting the ~30% that its elling better in eu now than before the pricedrop is a good comparison. sales in eu had been really low before the drop (about 30k) and now after drop and spikes of it and gta4 its at slightly better 43k. while in the us its at higher numbers allready and has also a bigger install base allready so the question will be how much scaling up is possible especially now in the slower selling summer phase.
