Don`t you people see a PRICE DIFFERENCE???
Or, you`re just blind?
x360 cost MUCH cheaper, than PS3, and yet struggling to outsell PS3.
Do you people think, that PS3 at 299$/€ would sell as BAD as x360 today??? |
Here is why you are wrong, and please, anyone, feel free to correct me if I am not absolutely 100 percent correct. Crazzy, please, talk to me bro. You are wrong because:
A. The PS3 has a lot of "value" the 360 doesn't. Consumers know this, yet so far, the majority still chose a 360.
B. The 360 is cheaper, however, MS has stated that the Arcade is not their highest selling sku. It is not as much cheaper as most would assume. Especially considering the PS3s "value."
C. Price is not the only determining factor. Things such as marketing, brand power, and games, sell consoles as well. You fail to factor any of these things into the equasion. Price cuts give sustained bumps, but brand and marketing keep are required to keep that momentum. THAT is why people are hoping the redesign is real. It would help out Sony where they need it, Marketing and Brand power.
D. The 360 DID outsell the PS3, according to the numbers you presented, without America. This is not a positive for the PS3. America is the 360's strongest market.
E. The 360 is not struggling to outsell the PS3. It managed it without even bothering to add in the 360's strongest market.
F. The 360 has been out 1 year longer than the PS3. It is at a different phase in its lifecycle. An older phase. It has 8 million more units on the market, yet it still manages to outsell the PS3. Look how low you have set the bar for Sony.
Did you think the PS3 would ever sell this BAD again? I bet you thought these days were gone when year 2 started. ==))
