First of all lets get 2 things clear:

A. We are in the BIGGEST recession the world has ever seen, & the second biggest for the US........so throw sales expectations to match last year out of your window.

B. We are talking about the priciest console on the market, which matters when you see it on the same shelf as a Xbox 360 & Wii

The above may seem excuses to you, well tough, thats how it is so we must keep our expectation lined with the situation we are in. I mean we have never been such a situation since gaming began, so this is the first time something like this is happening.

Now 100K a week last year would have been terrible.

In 2007 below 100k a week WAS terrible for PS3.

But things have changed now, people are jobless, Xbox 360's price is exponentially lower than PS3's (closer to PS2's price if we look at the cheapest model like many consumers are in these tough times).

so what can we say are "Good" sales now......taking all factors into account PS3's 100K/per week sales at the moment are Good Sales (not amazing or very good.....just good).

Now should SONY waste money by dropping the price on Ps3, which is selling withina  margin of error tot he Xbox 360? No that would be stupid & putiting them more in the red.

SONY shouldn't drop the price till the PS3 Slim is out now......if PS3 continues these sales its doing good....relative to the current economic climate & Xbox 360.....NOT last year.

If SONY do drop price it would be a waste......an absolute waste of money & probably sales too as people will make those impulse purchases in the holidays not now.

in fact Wii & xbox 360 are doing good too.......I mean can we really expect them to set the world on fire in this situation the word is in, NO

That's why a price drop during holidays would be great.

Alongside a PS3 slim if possible.

The sales are fine for now, I do think they should drop the price for the holidays and definitely capitalize some sales on Japan with FFXIII launch.

Sony shouldnt drop the price yet.

Considering entry level price points, its doing good compared to its competition.

Also, the pricedrop should come when the Slim is announced.

A pricecut of $50 with a slimline, would improve sales drastically.

@zezlar

exactly they must do that
___________

In fact I'll go as far as saying Xbox 360 & Wii sales are GOOD too.....with wii ones being very GOOD

If we look at the situation the world is in.....everyones doing fine actually

Sony should drop the price, maybe I will get a ps3 then

@Kirby007

but you've got -500 VG$

if thats how you handle money in real life, can you ever get a PS3?

I dont think you have anything to worry about, I dont see Sony dropping the price until the PS3 Slim actually comes out. And as for the sales, havent you heard the PS3 is DOOMED, again.

have you personally been affected by the ressecion? most of the ppl who would by a console(for the most part) haven't been hit, so this is still terrible

Depends on how you look at it. Sales may be good in this economy and for the asking price, but they are still in behind their competition which is bad.
