| ArtofAngels said: I find it pathetic that anyone can think sales will double because of a $100 price drop, you think that the extra 100% of sales is coming from people that were holding out because they didn't have a spare $100 on em? If someone would pay $499 about 75% of them would pay $599 if that were the only option. Hence I predict a 25% sales increase for the month. Amazon is not a reliable indication of sales, Wii is almost always beating DS but you never see that on the charts. |
Sure, $500 isn't a small amount of cash for a video game system. However, I can justify spending $500 on something that would give me many hours of entertainment. The $600? I could wait because there haven't been any games out that I really want for the system. Also, I think that the sales will be at least a 50% gain for the month of July due to people who now have a reason to get a ps3, (Price drop and within a couple months many games we want) as well as getting a PS3 that has the EE in it as well. Eventually they will replace those units with ones without the EE. Another thing to consider is that it's highly unlikely that there will be another price cut by the time those games we want will be out so if we have the money now, we can go and get it at the lower price.
Trust me, I wouldn't go off what Amazon says with it's sales rankings, but it is impressive that demand has come to the PS3 with this price drop. I'm sure that somewhere some Sony exec's are high fiving each other with the early news on sales coming out.
