Forums - Sony - PS3 Phat hardware sales increase 30% after price cut

ioi guessed 500-600k for September? omg...

That's 150k a week, ON LAUNCH MONTH. Jesus people, you think a $100 (and about equivalent WW) price cut and new model will only sell about 50k more WW weekly than the fat was doing a few weeks back?

I disagree with that prediction 100%.

This...I find it absurd ppl think a new model + a new price wont do anything

Well, this was bound to happen.

100k to 150k a week is a 50% boost... and the 100k weeks were back in July or June.

I'm not going to say I'm sure ioi got it right, but it doesn't seem that unreasonable.

^i'm never listening NJ5.
especially for predictions.

 

Why don't you offer some alternative predictions instead of just criticizing others'?

 

because i don't care about predictions, i care about the games =).

The thing got a $100 price cut, and a new slimmer model, a 50% boost is reasonable? Really?

It is not a 50% boost, more like a 100% boost from August if it hits 600k for September.

As I said, the 100k weeks were more than a month ago.

In August, the fat stock dwindled and people started waiting for the slim. And it was still at 75k. Taking August numbers (all time low this year) is pure folly.

Yeah, lol. Makes about as much sense as some of the predictions in this thread.
