» Hmm...
Perhaps I wouldn't need to get Wii anymore. As much as I like the Wii -- I'd rather get this system instead. Because more fans will get the system in it's lowered price.

Indeed. Because Wii can't produced those "hi end" games. Like FFXIII, Versus XIII, Time Crisis 4 etc... And also DMC 4.

Don't get the Wii. It's not even next-gen, it's just Gamecube with an overclocked CPU and new controllers.

» up 2800% from what?
Since it was at number 29 on the selling charts before does that mean that it sold like 250 units yesterday so that today now that its up 2800% it sold like 7000 units? 2800% is kinda vague, although it did jump to the first spot, so I guess you can say the price cut is working already...but its the first day so you can't gauge whether the cut is going to pay off over the next 6 months or more.

Sony already managed to get the PS3 production cost into the profitable range:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aYWkGuoeuipo&refer=home
at this rate,come holiday 2007 a PS3 price-cut to 400$ is very possible
it expected,Sony is long-timehardware company with cast experience in hardware redesigning and cost-reducing
cost reduction is one of their main proffesions,just look compare the build quality between the PS3 and the 360....less than 1% failure rate against 33% and yet still managed to cost-reduce it
once the PS3 drops to 400$ with MG4,Killzone2,warhack,Lair,heavenly sword,rathchet and clank and possible surprises this E3....sales will boost even more than 2800%
MS is in a very bad position,losing in the Hardware department...losing in the Software department [Vista is crap...latest search analysis says most people are making search topics on Linux Ubunto distro ]
dont wait....go Ubuntu,s webpage:
http://www.ubuntu.com/
Download Ubunto linux....and kiss good-bye to endless spyware,freezes crashes and cash-spending for windows license and anti-virus maintance cost software
dont wait.....get ubunto

» just look at the PS2's cost reduction history
Ever taken apart different versions of PS2s? The earliest ones are very well made, with cast aluminum heatsinks, self contained DVD drives that are reliable and easily adjustable, and more individual parts so you can only replace what's broken. Later versions went with DVD drive boards integrated into the main board, cheaper less effective extruded aluminum heatsinks, and a crappy DVD drive that requires adjustment of 2 seperate wheels for laser alignment. Did they do that to make it harder to fix intentionally? Don't get me started on the PS2 slim, which has overheating problems since there's no fan and the electronics shoved in a tiny case. Problems which sony won't admit to, and is only coved by a 90 day warranty.
The XBOX 360 is getting much better, the PS3 will only get worse from a quality standpoint. New 65nm chips are coming to XBOX, a price reduction is imminent, and current 360 owners have nothing to worry about except maybe not having a system for a couple weeks at the worst.

Common Sense,
You never cease to amaze me with your pointless logic and your inane arguments.
So basically, from your argument, you are saying that later versions of Sony consoles get worse while later versions of Microsoft consoles get better.
I didn't imagine that even a fanboy as lacking in logic and reason as you are could come up with such a pointless argument just to bash what is a truly spectacular machine by Sony while comparing it with what is the very definition of a poorly designed MS product (yes, I'm saying this even though I own a working 360 - I'm not as blindly biased as you are: then again, I own both consoles as opposed to just one and so I'm in a position to speak from first-hand experience, unlike you who speaks purely from irrational prejudice).
Also, please don't bother saying that XBox 360 will solve its hardware problems and will get better. Even if they manage to do so, that is not going to help the current 10-11 Million or so 360 owners is it, unless Microsoft agrees to replace consoles en masse. I don't think even a blindly faithful MS fanboy like you could be so naive as to think that.
Well, you did your bit to bash the PS3, I did my bit to deconstruct your illogical argument, even though most sane people here would agree that your arguments are pretty senseless anyway.

MTK

I love that. "not having a system for a couple weeks"
Instead, MS sends over someone to rape you in the ass.
I recall the first Xbox 360s suffering from some sort of problem with the DVD drive. Well we all know MS solved that one...by making said DVD drives scratch up some discs.
Funny how the Red Ring of Death fiasco is really only picking up speed now, a year and a half AFTER the consoles launch. Now is that because MS couldn't design a console to run for longer, or did someone take a piss in the latest batch of 360 CPUs?

» My Math is Fine!
So is my education! If he said it increased it's rank %2900 over one week vs. it's increase in rank over the previous week then he would have been correct.
Let's say that it started at 20th. The ultimate goal is obviously 1st. If it moves to 10th it didn't increase by %1000, it only made it half way to 1st which is %50. Now let's say that it starts at 20th and moves to 19th the next week. If it moves to 1st in the 3rd week then it had an increase of %1800 more than it's increase the previous week. But how do we know what is meant when only half of a statement is posted? Don't call people stupid for pointing out glaring errors or incomplete info in a post! Is that all that you could think of was to insult my intelligence? That in itself shows a lack of intelligence on your behalf.
It is all about relativity. Everything is relative to something else it just matters how you look at it.

I'd have put the price up and advertise a whole lot better. A lot of people will think the PS3 is no better than the Wii unless they advertise the PS3 as better. Placing the retail price below the production costs was a bad idea from the start. I would quite happily have spent £100 ($200) more on my PS3.

did we not go over percents last week. percent is far different from total. 10 is 100% of 100 so 200% of 10 is 20, understand? so if they sold 1,000,000 then sales would have been 28,000,000 with 2800%. i doubt it was that much but it was probably a good amount and any unit is good for sales.

Look, 1% of X is equal to 1/100 of X so 2800%= X/100*2800 which is equal to X*28, where X equals amount of PS3 sales
Got it?? I'm sure you knew dat already but you should say something that stupid on the net (proof read your comments!!!)
