PS3, I wonder if it was planned this way
It is just unreal to see how popular the PS3 has become and how outrageous the prices are. BUT….ya know, I was wondering, and a friend and I discussed it this weekend. I wonder if the “shortage” was all a marketing plan by Sony. Look at the publicity that this whole ordeal has generated. There’s no way Sony or anyone could ever buy that kind of marketing or advertising. With the whole “shortage” and camping out and outrageous prices on the internet, it was being talked about on EVERY single radio station in America, it was on every single news channel, every single message board, every single blog (average admins included, haha), and every single chat room, etc, etc. Everyone in America was talking about it. That’s pretty good free advertisement….and the people that haven’t been able to get their hands on one I’m sure will end up getting one, plus all the other tons of people that have been sucked in by all of the talk and hooplah. Might not have been a bad idea to have a “shortage” after all. Maybe it takes a little trickery to get people to buy a $600 video gaming system. That’s just my 2 cents.
Hmm….What would you do?
