So I was just playing through the sale of the PS3, and I noticed that it was $50 less than it was $60, which was a pretty decent deal for a console. I was wondering why that was, and it turns out I was curious about how it was selling.
It turns out the PS3 sale was the result of a couple of things. First, Sony’s stock price was hovering near the all-time high of its $400 price point, and the timing of the price increase was intentional, as Sony wanted to encourage people who had already purchased the console to buy more.
The second reason is that the PS3 was the first console to ship with a new software pack, the PS3 update. The PS3 update makes it easier to install new games, and since the system had been used by a lot of people, it was a good idea to make it easier to update.
That’s quite a statement, but it’s also true that the more Sony sold, the more money they made. The only reason that Microsoft doesn’t seem to be taking notice is because they can be quite aggressive about price drops if they don’t like the competition. A big reason that the Xbox 360 had more than 500,000 units sold last year was because of the Xbox 360 update.
I’ve been a big fan of Sony ever since my brother bought my first Playstation after Christmas in 2000. I was going to buy the PS3 when it came out but I found that Sony was offering better value for money. By the time the PS3 came out I had already pre-ordered the PlayStation 2. They didnt have the price drop on the 360 and its a big reason that I never found out about the Xbox 360 until the Xbox 360 came out.
So I guess the 360s are a little more expensive than the PS3s, correct? But Sony has a lot more games, and the 360 is outselling the PS3 by a lot.
In a way I think Sony/Microsoft are taking the Wii out of the picture. The Wii has the same game library as the 360, but it is much more affordable. It is also far more addictive. If you love playing games, this is a better system.
The only real differences between the 360 and PS3 are the controllers and the hard drive sizes, and in one aspect, the controllers are the same. The 360s are made by Sony, which means that they are essentially the PS3s with the controller and hard drive. Both of these systems come with a copy of the 360’s disc, which you can use to either install or launch games.
This means that you can either play the 360 games with the same controller or you can install the game on your own hard drive and get it running on your 360. Either way, it’s a lot cheaper than getting a full new system.
I’m always wary of any system that doesn’t include a copy of the disc. This is especially true of the 360s, which seem to be designed for the PC market. This means that you can’t just buy the disc and install, you have to buy the system, which has to be pre-installed. If you buy a 360, you have to have it pre-installed, and if you buy a system, you need to have it pre-installed.
