Highlight of Business Operations:
Videogame console prices typically are reduced as the products mature in the market place and as the launch of new consoles is anticipated. In the prior generation of videogame consoles, the PlayStation 2 and Xbox game consoles launched in the United States with a retail price of $299 and GameCube launched with a retail price of $199. After successive price decreases, the price of the PlayStation 2 system was lowered from $129 to $99 on April 1, 2009, while the Xbox and GameCube consoles have been discontinued. A similar pattern is beginning to emerge with the current generation of videogame consoles. In November 2005, Microsofts Xbox 360 launched in the United States in two configurations, the Core priced at $299 and the Premium priced at $399, followed up with the launch of the Elite in April 2007 at $480. After successive price decreases, as of May 2009, the Core, which was discontinued and replaced by the Arcade, retails at $199, the Premium at $299 and the Elite at $399. In September of 2009, Microsoft reduced the price of the Elite to $299. Sonys PlayStation 3 was launched in the United States in November 2006 in two configurations, a 20 GB model priced at $499 and a 60 GB model priced at $599. In July 2007, Sony lowered the price of the 60 GB version to $499, eliminated the 20 GB version and introduced an 80 GB version priced at $599. In October 2007, Sony in effect took another price reduction by eliminating the 60 GB version and introducing a 40 GB version at $399, while at the same time reducing the price of the 80 GB version to $499. In November 2008 Sony introduced a 160 GB PlayStation 3 for $499, at which time they dropped the price of the 80 GB version to $399. In September 2009, Sony in effect dropped the price again with the launch of the PS3 Slim at $299. Nintendo launched its Wii in the United States in November of 2006 at the price of $250. In September 2009, Nintendo dropped the price to the current $199.99. Lower console prices usually result in higher unit sales of console systems. Management believes that the more price sensitive late adopter consumer that waits for these price reductions before purchasing a system is also more likely to purchase value-priced accessories. Management believes that in fiscal 2011 there may be price reductions on one or more of the videogame console systems, but none of Microsoft, Nintendo or Sony have announced any intention to do so, and there are no assurances any such price reductions will take place.Read the The complete Report
