George Harrison was asked for his thoughts on Sony's decision to drop the price of the PlayStation 3 in North America from $599 to $499.
"I don't think they had any choice," opined Harrison, "It's pretty soon after launch to be dropping your price, but I'm pretty sure they had to do it. They had to start momentum in some form, but we don't think it's something that'll hurt us. It doesn't really affect us, since they're still far enough away."
GamerSquad will politely ignore the fact that the GameCube's price dropped less than six months after launch, George.
Well, of course it had to drop. That's why they did it.
Why is the wii so popular?
2 things -
1st PRICE. Duh. Sell the PS3 or a 360 for $250 and Nintendo would drop to 3rd in a day and stay there. No games and the RROD wouldn't even be a factor.
2nd Demand exceeds supply which has created a frenzy. We'll all look back on this someday and say WTF were we thinking?
With that said all systems have their merit. Enjoy the fruits of a competitve market everyone.
CRAPPY
they were quiet when the Gamecube flopped, but now that they're ahead, they open they're mouths
From their point of view PS3 is flopping and Sony had to cut the price with a fake price-cut or clearance only months after it launched in a last ditch effort to not be left in the dust.
