No, that doesn't end the thread.

You made this to be discussed. If you wanted your question to be answered, you would have done that instead of asking us to. You posted it which allows open discussion. Resume thread.

Ps2 has numerous price cuts, of course it sold so well.

I hope it will, so Nintendo maybe will start cutting Wii's price and I'll eventually buy one. I don't want to spend more than 150€ for a console, and the only one I'm interested in is the Wii. (I support PS3 mainly as anti-MS, actually the only Sony products I buy are optical drives and sometimes earphones).

What if 80% of the PS3 sales happen after the price cut? Then it's lifetime sales will be only 25 million.

(first PS3 price cut was in Oct 2007 when the PS3 had sold only 5 million units worldwide. If 20 million PS3s are sold after the price cut, that's 80% of a total lifetime 25 million).

Hey guys, this is awesome. My dad got a PhD when he was 31, so I automatically get a PhD when I turn 31, right? That's the way it works?

No. This generation is entirely different from last generation. There's a big difference between the lead console of a generation and cheap and being last place and cheap. Just look at the Gamecube. It sold like shit, even when it was 99$.

100% of ps2 sales were at 299 and under! OMG important Percents are important.

Ballmer is madly in love with Slimebeast, but he hates you. And you know this is bad. I suggest you buy a helmet and watch out for flying chairs.
