so how many price drops has ps3 had because of its low sales?

Answer 1

First of all what's wrong with it having a price drop? Secondly it's sales aren't low, it's sold as many as the 360 did in it's first year and that's including the fact that it was only released in Europe in March.

Take a look at this: http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php

You should also know that the PS3 is beating the Wii on weekly sales in Japan ( http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=30710

Answer 2

After they sold the production rights of the 8 core cell broadband processor to toshiba and Apple for mass production they were able to produce the ps3 for alot less. Also the elimination of the emultion chip for hardware backwards capability lowered production cost. Considering they have sold more in their first year then 360 did in their first year (360 had no competition for 1st year) they are sitting pretty good.

360 has sold 10.3 million worldwide in 2 years and the ps3 sold 5.5 miilion in it's 1st 6 months. And the 360 sales numbers include all the Red ring of death consoles that were replaced that would make 33% of the 360 sales numbers repeat consoles to the same household. When looking at sales numbers most websites present sony's year end which is March. So those numbers usually reflect as of march 2007 numbers.

2500 360s get sent back to Microsoft for replacement everyday from the U.K. alone.
