We have always managed to see the incredible value packed into the PlayStation 3, so we have devoted countless hours of our lives we will inform you about our favorite high-definition consoles and software. But the PS3 for a long time was a hard sell for many consumers, especially in the first two years of his life, for the production of significant cost Sony (for the launch of the Sony PS3 will cost almost $ 900 for the production) with a higher price than the competition . All that has changed with the announcement of Slim 120GB PS3 model, which was released last September. see for an affordable price of $ 299, the average consumer can finally begin, the value that the PS3 has to offer. HD gaming, Blu-Ray and much more, the PS3 is the best feature offered by any of the current generation console on the market, in fact, it just is not everything.
Since the 120GB "Slim" campaign, the console was extremely high demand for the PS3 breaks sales records during the last holiday season sales. Towards the end of the holiday season, the PS3 hard drive has been found, and since then the bag to offer, but dried up. Sony is well aware of the problems of stock and are currently looking to fill the retail channel to the best of their abilities. When an item in high demand to get an unusual result of scarce, the price is usually pushed up. Supply and demand, according to Wikipedia, "an economic model of pricing in a market. It concludes that in a competitive market, the price will function to the supplied quantity demanded by consumers and the amount of the producers, creating a balance to balance economic price and quantity. "Law Does it make sense? You want, it is difficult to obtain, so you pay more. Pretty simple.
So, now that the PS3 is in high demand, but the quantities are small because the price has influenced? What is marketing?
According to NPD sales last month, the PS3 has sold a massive 180,800 units, slightly less of its nearest competitor, all of which are in scarce during 5000th The console has sold similar figures for the last five months, even though the console is extremely difficult to find. Imagine how many additional units would be sold if they are prepared only for the consumers be justified by buying up.
This includes sales, so what about the price? This is not a perfect example of the global market, but it is a good example. Amazon.com, the biggest market in the world, not only sells products, including video games, which sell as such to other retailers (like Target) or retailer Amazon sells the same products at a competitive price. Amazon has long sold the PS3, with the stock only trickle here and there. This has not stopped Sony HD behemoth best-seller list for the online giant. So, if Amazon is out of the PS3, how then sell enough to be on the bestseller list? Out there on the main partners of retail Amazon, Target, and thus sold to consumers forces along the line to other retailers or distributors in the market of Amazon.
This is where supply and demand model comes into play. Normal retailers like Amazon and Target have set MSRPs. If you have in stock, you will pay $ 299 MSRP. However, other dealers charge for inflating or deflating the price depending on supply and demand. A dealer has in stock 120GB PS3 for $ 364.53, representing a significant amount above the SRP. Another dealer has a 120GB PS3 for $ 384.99 + $ 10.50 for shipping, which is just under $ 100 more than they normally listed for the PS3 retail. What a rip-off, right? Obviously not for consumers, compared to just buy a PS3 with inflated price tags, as is mentioned clearly in the inclusion of the PS3 on Amazon bestseller list above. The PS3 is against the usual price of the Xbox 360 at Amazon bestseller list. Despite the PS3 price jacked up on Amazon, is currently residing in the # 9 position in the list of best sellers, with the next Xbox 360 model (the bundle comes with 2 Spring Elite Halo 3: ODST strength and not three) sitting-so - but to point out # 57 Of course, Nintendo Wii is unstoppable victory at number one thanks to a sale of $ 149.99 that Amazon is sitting. Again, this is not an accurate representation of the Consul General market sales, especially since the Xbox 360 did outsell the PS3 in April, according to sales data from NPD. Also once again imagine if the PS3 was filled with its normal $ 299 MSRP equipped to think about how it would have sold better if consumers who want badly enough to pay close to $ 100 MSRP!
Shocking? Not really, especially since the pulses from the PS3 price cut and the release of the slim model. Soon after, some of the most anticipated titles for the PS3 with God of War III and were released Final Fantasy XIII, both regard themselves as "system sellers". On top of the already robust library, the future for the PS3 is very bright, lit by glowing ball on top of Move PlayStation controller and the console manufacturers that the best software, the first ever part with the likes of Killzone 2 LittleBigPlanet 3 offers , along with many others are revealed at E3.
The moment will not soon stop.
