im so glad these are coming out, this means that the slimline black ps2 might drop to under 100 dollars used. then i can finnally justify buying one used...o rmaybe ill just buy a big one after the ps3 comes out... the things illl do to play guitar hero, (my freind got back from vacation a few days ago and took his ps2 back, im in GH remission...)
i appologize in advance if someone already said this, but lets not all forget so quickly where companies that lose money on a cocsole at launch make up for it, the software, the xbox just plain old didnt sell as many games. you know those 3 cent disks that microsoft sells for 50$? every person i know dosent have an xbox, but a "super xbox" with a full 20 or 30 gigs of downloaded games. the fact that you cant do this on the 360 YET could be one of the reasons that they will pull a larger profit. mattel dosent release its barbie sales figures because there a little or no investors wondering " hmm should i support the barbie doll, or the bratz doll?" whereas in the videogame industry showing strong sales figure puts your investors, at ease and makes them not feel so uneasy about supporting you through your losses, somthing microsoft dosent have to worry about.
