Here are four ideas to help Sony boost sales of the PS3...



1) Reduce the price equivalent to Xbox 360 Elite.
2) Release Dual Shock 3 as a standard controller.
3) Hold on to exclusives (bribe Kojima-san) such as MGS 4 like there's no tomorrow.
4) Reduce the price equivalent to Xbox 360 Elite.

What do you think?

I think this is a pointless thread... There's been pleanty of threads about this.

If people can't afford something they either find a way to afford it or go without and buy the next best thing. Thats life.. And there are a tonn of threads on game exclusives as well.

ADVERTISE!

I've never seen a PS3 TV advertisement here. And all the ones overseas are really random.

Yeah the one about the cell broadband engine would have sold plenty...

I just recently convinced a mate of mine to buy a PS3 as he has really only been a PC gamer! I'm going to go with him on Thursday night to pick it up and it didn't take much convincing mind you. Just played a few games, told him to watch a few videos/trailers and now it's a done deal!

Even at the current price Sony are making a loss of about $250 on each console they sell. When you consider the Xbox is cheaper and delivers a profit for MS, it's clear the PS3 is a quality unit. Exclusive titles are sooo important...Bioshock...oops!

if they want to sell more market better i havent seen a single ad for ps3 u see alot of nintendo wii playstation r going backwards and its all due to a lazy person in marketing thinking that the brand will sell but if they put ads and tv commercials they should pick up more sales but they should have done this at the start

Hmmm I don't now the point of this thread

I don't recall seeing many (if any) Playstation ads on TV. And I don't just mean for the PS3.

Antman, I guess the point of this thread is to dicuss Sony's marketing, or rather lack of it.

Pointless maybe, but here's hoping that one day Sony would listen to us ordinary people. Initially skeptical about the PS3, I finally bought it after my 360 died. So far I'm impressed with the machine. Have to agree with zyxses, it's a DAMN good quality console. The point of this post...I don't know...just pissed towards MS at the moment, hoping that Sony would kick their asses!

this is pretty stupid. why make dualshock 3 when the sixaxis is more precise?

xiathan says:

Because Dualshock 3 is SIXAXIS combined with the rumble feature. Still a rumour at this stage, but apparently in Japan they are releasing it with GT 5. One of the good thing that can be derived from 360 controller is the rumble effect. Ever played GRAW 2 on 360? It packs lotta punch with the vibration. Even Hideo Kojima misses the rumble.
