Forums - Sales Discussion - I don't get the 360 vs Ps3 price arguments

Oyvoyvoyv on 22 October 2008

Lately, people have been using

Wow! a 199$ X360  outsold a 400$ Ps3 for one week, big deal!

 

But people also say

1) The Ps3 has more value than the 360

 

 

So, if you ask how it is more valuable, as it does after all have a worse library of games. This leads to 2 answers.

A) The Ps3 has Blue-Ray

B) The Ps3 has free online

 

And this leads to

2) As you have to pay for live and a HD-Drive, the X360 is really more expensive than the Ps3.

 

So which of these arguments do you think of as the "correct" one, as I see no way they can co-exist.

Is it

A) The 360 beating the Ps3 is no feat, as it is lower priced.

B) The 360 has a roughly equal value to the Ps3, and costs the same/more than the Ps3.

or the answer that most people will use (and that probably is the correct one)

C) Oyvoyvoyv has completely missed the point, the real case is this:

When parents and grandparents buy their kids a console, they only see the immediate price.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

D) They boh offer similar value propositions. Their value roughly equals their price, so it's irrelevant.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Well then "technically" the PS3 is cheaper since it doesn't have as many games, hence you won't pay as much for games and the total will be cheaper...

There are plenty of arguments like this but what people see is the price on the shelf.

Also, think of it like a credit card.

You can pay for something all at once or you can pay for it over time.
