Leo-J said: I predict a 100$ Price cut on the PS3 (at that time 400$) will make it have the biggest comeback ever!

Now personally I'd like to know what he thinks about it nowadays.

So vote and please post

LOL, I remember seeing someone with this on the sig regarding Leo-j comments:

"I believe a 299$ axe can turn this wheel around"

Beating the Xbox360 may be called a comeback.

Taking the wii may be called a biggest comeback ever.

The PS3 has not done either. It's just selling a lot better. And bragging about a forced 100$ pricecut like it was part of some plan, is rather silly. Why do people always forget that Sony's hand was forced - big time for Sony's part! Like Nintendo's was last year of Microsoft's before that.

In my opinion the PS3 isn't making a comeback.  

Its pretty obvious cutting price was part of the plan to make PS3 more accessible. When you release a home console at 600$ you know that only your hardcore fan will purchase it. And then slowly cut the price to make it more accessible while not loosing too much money was the obvious plan. And yes since september it have outsold xbox so there goes your " The PS3 has not done either". With the growing interest in HD, 3D and blu-ray, the PS3 at 199$ (in 1-2 years) will sell like hotcake. PS3 still has a lot of potential sales. 299$ is not a pricetag for casual nor impulsive purchase. Its not because you prefer another console that you need to be blind and a hater.

A comeback would involve beating it's competitors on a weekly basis until it's in the lead. It's not even doing the first part, aside from the 360.

this

You decided that a comeback would mean beating its competitors on a weekly basis until its in the lead... What about the PS3 is doomed part, do you still read people saying that? Thats a great comeback in my opinion.

The comeback was originally to overtake the wii, which it wasn't having trouble with until the wii decided to get a price cut.. and then came new super mario bros wii..

this is the biggest comeback for a 3rd place console regardless though, but not as big as it could have been, I honestly underestimated what the competitors would do.

Not a comeback IMO but price cut helped and it sells well for its outstanding games and blu ray...

It only showed how PS3's problem doesn't come from its' entry price or its' size.


So no, not only is it not a comeback it is proof the whole PS3 business model was poorly designed to begin with.
