PS3 Sales Are Up 135% Since Sony Announced Price Cut

For months now I've said that Sony really needs to think about dropping their price on the PS3. Their sales haven't been the best, and the two biggest complaints are a lack of good titles and the high price. Since Sony can't make games come out any faster, the only thing they can do is drop the price. Sony finally did this, but was my theory correct?

You bet it was. Sony is reporting an increase of 135 percent in PS3 sales since they announced the price drop. Software is now up 15% and peripherals are up by 60%. I'm sure all of that was just a coincidence, right Sony?

I'm not saying that companies like Sony should be reading what I write and taking it to heart, but rather, they need to listen to their target audience and act accordingly. People have been saying the PS3 was too expensive for a long time, now that they listened to those people their sales are up. Lets just hope they keep those ears open.
