Forums - Sales - Sony's Next Move?

I think sony should drop the ps3 to $279 just for the hell of it during November, and bundle little big planet with every ps3, thats a killer move, but hey Im not sony

I don't think bundling that game will have much effect. I think they should make a deal with Activision like Microsoft did and Bundle MW2.



 

Around the Network

They need more variety bundles.
For casuals PS3 with LBP
For JRPG FFXII, WKC
For Slash Gow3, Demon Souls
Platformer, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank

Honestly, do JRPG makers even realize how hard it is to save the world? That shit is impossible!

 

 

 

motion controller and better advertising

I'm just wondering, who is a mod? How can you tell?

What do different colours for names mean- dark blue, purple, green?

Red: Admin

Green: Mod

Purple: DB Admin

Dark Blue: Contributor



Former something....

New color idea seems reasonable. Price cut definitely won't happen for while.

When I mentioned PS3 motion control, I didn't mean that it would be better or even as good as Wii. The time will only tell for that part as Wii already has bunch of games out. Sony's technology alone may not be able to give Wii Fit experience, unless PSEye can be utilized to detect leg movements.

But my point was independent of above. It is rather to make people think twice before grabbing Wii.

When people see advertisement of PS3 that in next March it will have "better" motion tracking technology utilized controller as an option. I believe many people who are considering to grab Wii because it looks fun to use motion controller rather than with specific software goal, they may decide to go with PS3 instead or at least wait until next March.

Theres no way the PS3 is going to catch the Wii. Infact they have their work cut out for them just trying to catch the Xbox 360. However they just cut the price its a bit to early to speculate what theyre next move will be



Long Live SHIO!

This year, nothing.

Start of next year they have a ton of big games and the motion.

Christmas 2010 they will maybe bring colours and/or a $50 cut to combat Natal.



                            

I'd like to see a demo disc with like 10-20 Sony exclusive games on it. Comes with the system, or you can just get it free (might help sell software).

Also, like to see some free download game/movie bundles. Buy the system and get $100 in downloadable games/movies or something like that (would cost them next to nothing, would add to the value prop., and would encourage people to buy downloadables too).

Also, disc based versions of Wipeout, Siren, and/or PSN collections would be cool.

Announce more collections of HD ps2 games with early access to betas/demos.

Revamp home to have all kinds of contests and events, which are always going on and can be played for downloadable credits/prizes on PSN. Add an intercom system or some kind of virtual tour guide/host to encourage members to try things out (can be turned on/off). Also add seasonal events (for example at X-mas- areas have decorations, plus ice skating, snow boarding mini-games), include a fully functioning Casino with all the games you might find in Vegas, an amusement park with playable bumper cars/boats, batting cage, race tracks, rides, mini golf, and small arcade, a fully functioning Tony hawk or Skate themed skate park, a golf course, and a park with 2 on 2 basket ball, football, tennis, etc., add pets with objective based mini games (feed, walk, etc), have online terminals in areas which connect you to their specific sites (EA area has terminal that lets you log on to their site directly).


etc.etc.etc...



Sonys next move is to market the hell out of the PS3.
Since the price drop the PS3 has been out selling the 360 and wii.
in my area and in other places. there is a buzz about the slim.
there is no buzz about the 299 elite thats for sure or the 199 wii



VITA 32 GIG CARD.250 GIG SLIM & 160 GIG PHAT PS3

Also Natal is not a threat. Sony's wand is more of a threat since Developers are going to be able to port Wii games to PS3 in High def. Natal games will need to be made from scratch and MS's first party devs are lackluster at best (looking at you Rare). Keep in mind that Natal still looks unresponsive. Natal is a bigger threat to the 360 then anything else.
