to all those who say sony will pricecut, to do that they must inform the share holders first because of the promise of not dropping it, at least here in the states, so we would know about it long before it happened, so i do not see it happening until next year

The shares are at a 5 year low already, I don't think the shareholders can take much more.

I think that they'll be quite happy when the quarterly numbers come out.  Holding steady on their price, and selling less PS3 systems, less MGS4 bundles, and more software will definitely make it look nice.

 

hah i agree with you for once dmeisterJ, it will also give the ps3 time to make hardware profitable, and make a drop in price next year not hurt the bottomline, also they will avoid upsetting partners in the blue ray player market by not undercutting them. so not cutting the price is the best move unless the start moving only 80k a week which i do not see happening id be surpissed if it falls bellow 100k until next feb. (or under 120k after this week)

we seriously need your same post....in the "Leo-J was wrong thread"

 

I'm never posting in that thread again. I've said all I need to say, and I don't know if it has, but I don't think it needs to be bumped.

ohhh.,...yeah I remember you were also one of the people who was laughing in glee when the thread was made last time

good I am glad to see atleast some people learn from their mistakes

 

 

lol, I apologized in that post, that's what I wrote that. Check it out, but don't bump if you can help it.

DS, Wii, and PSP on normal sales for the week but 360 with noticeable increases from the pricedrop and PS3 slightly down. Probably nothing to worry about. 360 will probably drop next week anyways as most pricedrops for the 360 have shown little lasting effects over the few weeks afterwards in EU.

Will be funny to see these numbers DROP like a body after a headshot ...

Seriously, the Xbox360 numbers are not so impressvie considering the price and even the PS3 numbers are not so low.

I stick on my PS3 comeback WW for October
(even if I push it on "late october" because I dont expected Europe price cut).

Wait and see.

 

So, what you're saying is that the 360's numbers really suck this week, and the Playstation 3's epic sales are just waiting in the wings for the right time to pounce?

==> where and when did I say this ???

I must have misconstrued your post.

Impressive numbers for 360, but PS3 wasn't destroyed, last week it sold 65k and now 64.

Good post. The 360 is on top of the ps3 now because of the price cut. When Fable 2 and LBP are released,both consoles will sell. When Gears 2 and Resistance 2 are released,both consoles will sell. When Banjo 3 and Motorstorm 2 will be released,both consoles will sell.

Now...the 360 or the ps3 will sell more? Let`s say that both will sell equal based on games,even if the 360 lineup includes Viva piniata 2 as a casual exclusive. What about the price? 180 VS 400 euro. Now,based on that,the 360 will sell more.

Fair post? I think so.

wow, the dirt cheap xbox beats the super expensive ps3 for one week.... What a surprise. If anything MS sould be ashamed that they have to be selling their system at peanuts to outsell the most expensive PS3 for what is likely to be a single or two weeks.



DMeisterJ on 30 September 2008

Lots of people are too extreme in this thread.

PS3 sales are down the first full week of the 360 price drop, ZOMFG!!! Price cut PS3 is necessary!!!

No, calm down people. Let's wait a few weeks okay? Look at Japan? 360 is falling every week since it's price-drop high. Look at America? 360 is falling post-price drop also. If I were a predicting man, I would predict things back to normal LBP week, with PS3 beating 360 across all territories, but I'm not one, but things will be back to normal in a few weeks. Breathe, stretch, shake, and let it go.
