A ps3 price cut should be truly interesting.


i think a 360 price cut would be even more interesting.  they've had quite a few added value sku changes but it has been a really long time since an actual price cut.

I disagree. PS3 costs the most ATM. If the price of the PS3 was cut, it would have the biggest bump.

Without new games, would either be as large as the Wii's? I doubt it. Because it's now 'budget price' for Nintendo and the market. People will pick one up on the fly because of the low price. You can't do that with the other consoles, or the 3DS. And that's why 3DS sales are hurting IMO. 

But that's a different topic altogether

your post seems to contradict yourself - the ps3 would have a bigger bump because it currently costs the most but neither would have as big of a bump as the wii because it costs the least ...

.. you do realize that the wii is $150 now and the 360 currently starts at $200, therefore a 360 price cut would still bring it down the that same "budget" price.

theres a huge difference between going down to 150$ and 200$. Going down to 200$ will have the bigger impact. Anyone that doesn't have a 360 isn't waiting for a price cut, unlike future ps3 owners.

I meant the bigger bump between the 360 and PS3

However, neither growth will be as large as the Wii's, because it's  now the budget console, like the PS2 was last gen. It won't last as long as the PS2, but it's easily the cheapest by some margin again. So the sales were bound to increase.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Agree. The current gen still has a lot of juice in it, although more than half of it has already been squeezed. And the new gen just started, 3DS started it slow, but if PS3 eventually started profiting and doing well, 3DS should be in an even better position, as it just have to improve sales, while its HW is already profitable.

But wait! My mind must have been wandering elsewhere, what was I thinking? Everything is d0med, as usual!   

Well, if you were to be doomed, then that would imply that at least it is worth being doomed. Better to be doomed than not doomed, because it shows that people care.

The UK lift is interesting, but that was always the developed video game market where Wii was the most out of sync with its actual value (you guys are ripped off on everything). More generally, you have to remember too, its not just a price cut, but a new bundle. The brief Mario Kart bundle over Christmas was a pretty big push too. Wii ain't dead by any means though - wait til next year. There are still at least three 5m plus titles coming to Wii (Just Dance 3, Dragon Quest X, and Zelda)- that will keep it from deteriorating too quickly for another year.


I expect Just dance 3 and zelda to be release this November, Just dance 1 and 2 came out Q4 right?  I expect bundles with these games too it would do good for wii this holiday.
