PS3 is not in a good position. I'm in between the people who think its doing "fine" and those who think it is "all over for Sony." It is not doing "fine" and the excuse of price and thinking a price cut will have a sustainable effect on the situation are really grasping at straws. It isn't all over for Sony, either. It won't be the marketleader, and it won't catch the 360 either, but thanks to the 360 PS3 is still getting third party support..for now. It just has to share it. When PS3 dips to 80k or less a week territory, then I'd say its more cause for concern.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

For a $400 console it is selling ok considering we are in the middle of a massive recession.
If the sales stay the same after it goes to a lower price point then you may have a case.

people can't use the whole "massive recession" anymore since the WW economy has been improving the past two months...



 

Enjoy

Why do I always get the feeling that threads like this are made by xbots?

Anyways, a price cut is needed.

Given that the sales gap is not all that big it's more likely it was made by a PS3 fanboy posing as a 360 fanboy to start the self-reinforcing circle jerk of PS3 fanboys talking about how great the PS3 is and how well it's doing despite its price...


I love stupid consparicies.

Hasn't the PS3 sold more units than the 360 at the same point in time?

The economy is still in the shitter. Current thinking is that there will only be some real growth in 2010, and even then it will be slow
