This is just hypothetical stuff.
What would have happened if all 3 consoles were $299.99
To Figure out: # of Consoles Sold * Price = Revenue, Revenue/299 = # of Consoles sold if price was 299
*Of course these figures are off because nobody could actually pinpoint the number of consoles sold...but this is what I got.
*Also I assumed the highest SKU for the PS3 and 360, $599 for PS3, $399 for 360 (didn't calculate elite)
XBOX 360:
Current: 9.74 Million-18 months
$299.99: 12.99 Million - 18 months, 4.32 Million in 6 months
Wii:
Current: 7.51 Million - 6 months
$299.99: 6.25 Million - 6 months
PS3:
Current: 3.27 Million - 6 months
$299.99: 6.55 Million - 6 months
So the sales would equal:
#1 - PS3 (6.55 Million)
#2 - Wii ( 6.25 Million)
#3 - 360 (4.32 Million)
Hmm....interesting...looks like Sony has made the most revenue (in the first 6 months) but also taken the biggest loss.
Well hope you had fun reading.
