There are a few things which need to be brought up in order to make this meaningful ...

  1. What is a normal hourly/daily/weekly sales number for the PS3 on Amazon
  2. What is the quantity of Wii and XBox 360 systems sold on an hourly/daily/weekly basis
  3. How long will this sales spike last
  4. What will the sales be like after the initial spike
  5. Is the Blu-Ray remote being the #2 PS3 item a sign that people are buying this as a Blu-Ray player that also plays games

As much as a 1 week 25,000 to 50,000 sales increase in North America would be great for the PS3 it really needs a long term sales increase and it needs to start gaining ground on the Wii and XBox 360; if sales return to 'normal' next week or the week following that demonstrates something far different than if sales continue at this pace for the next 6 months.

 

 


I think that the remote is being bundled with the system as an amazon offer.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,

Are people really flaunting a sales boost 2 days after the price drop? If the PS3 isn't back to 3rd in 3 weeks color me impressed. Right now, what did you expect?



CrazzyMan on 10 July 2007

anyway, does anyeone think, that after E3 M$ conference, x360 sales also will rise? =)
will KZ2 also make impact on ps3 sales? =)



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.

0% is more like 25% chance sales will remain like this, but if it does then cool.


No there really is no chance ...

Price cuts work exactly like system launches do, the only way you get long term stable sales is when the system rapidly sells out and supply can not meet demand (Wii, PS2, XBox 360) ... When you have an adequate build up of systems (like the PS3 has) you will rapidly satisfy all of the front loaded demand (the people who were waiting for the price cut); what happens then is sales return to the rate of people who want to buy the system with the current (or rapidly upcomming) games library at the current price.

HappySquirrel,  in 2004 the PS2 was in its heyday,  and I picked one up at BB with 0 problems.  It was EASY to find.

What does this have to do with anything?  What is your point?  The PS2 was released in 2000.  You bought one four years after that.  The only price cut in 2004 was in May, and there were no supply problems.  Even if there were, you have one specific, personal case which proves nothing.  I don't understand why you posted what you did.  I do not see how it is relevant, at all, and I do not see any positive contribution your story has provided to this discussion.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying ...

The initial boost in sales that a price cut causes can not be maintained unless the system is in short supply; this is very similar to how launches work in that systems like the Wii, PS2 and XBox 360 had such low initial numbers that their sales rate stayed close to initial launch numbers for a long time.
