Price not GTA IV to blame for slow PS3, 360 sales, says analyst

Again, analysts are giving too much importance to price, ignoring all the other factors.

The fact that PS3+360 are selling less than PS2+Xbox combined (on a per-region launch-aligned basis) means that their problems go farther than mass market adoption... Clearly, the Wii is stealing core gamers from the HD consoles. That's probably too complicated for some analysts to realize though.

PS: "Price not GTA IV to blame". Does that make sense? Did someone seriously blame GTA IV?

 

 

That's an illogical comparison , the market is entirley different now than how it was previously, each generation is a new race not an aggregate one.

Illogical comparison? Why? What's your explanation for the PS3 and 360 being adopted slower than the PS2 and Xbox?

You talk about a difference in the market, so I ask... what's the difference which explains this observation?
