| libellule said: Sullla, hum, last year it was just after a price drop now we are 1 year after the price drop last year, Xbox360 (the big foe playing on direct competition) was more expensive this year, it received a price drop and is now the cheapiest console this gen last year, we were not in recession this year, we are (and media are even pushing it by focusing on it) (I still see how Wii/360 are selling much better than PS3, but I also see PS3 is doing not bad considering the price) |
if u haven't noticed we were in a recession this time last year too...go google government admits recession has been going on since 2007 if u dont believe me.
No offense, Sony can only blame themselves. Not enough good games to justify the price. Yes I understand we are in an ecomonic crisis right now and that the 360 has 90% ( i think it's more like 60% cuz of the consant cancellations and coming out a yuear earlier but wutever) of the same games the ps3 has, but understand this in general:
I'm goin to the store holiday season looking for a cheap good graphics console(aka I'm a naive consumer) and I see the wii the 360, the ps3, and the ps2.
PS2: already had it,dont want it cuz intelligent enough to know that it's last gen, dont want it period.
Wii: Looks last gen ( I said naive consumer not stupid),sold out, or already have it.
PS3, Too expensive period, Too expensive to have games that are on other cheaper console with mostly same graphics,Still developing might wait another year.
360: RROD ( though it's becoming less and less likely with the newer models),don't like Microsoft( yes there are those people),"know that u need a hdd to get online, pay 50 dollars a year for live"
now I quoted the last part for a reason, unless the guys read the fine print, the wont know that last part and most likely buy an arcade which is the cheapest of them all of the current gen....kno if u are naive consumer...what would u pick...recession or not?
