Few products have taken a bigger hit to their brand name over the last few years than Playstation.

5 years ago you would say "Playstation" or "PS2" instead of "Xbox".

I found it interesting that my kids, who do not have iPods, use it as the generic term for an MP3 player. In my day it would've been a "walkman" -- nm - oblique Sep 8, 06:35
500k+ Slims sold in its first week. Crazy. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 06:04 7
- And 150k in Japan, which pretty much doubled its previous highest sales week. -- nm - Ender Sep 8, 06:10
- yeah i think sony is gonna realize that that $100 price piont differential kept them from getting a much bigger sales number. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 8, 06:10 5
  - I think believing this is anything more than a couple week surge is a mistake, but we'll find over the next month. -- nm - Inigo Sep 8, 06:29 3
    - Yeah. They had a "surge" after the last cut as well. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 8, 06:38 2
      - This one actually brings them into price parity though, the former rounds of cuts still left the PS3 much more expensive. -- nm - Ender Sep 8, 06:44
      - This one is more significant though, but won't make a dent in the long run, imo. - Inigo Sep 8, 06:42
  - Absolutely. Software sales got a major boost as well, clearly. -- nm - Shaun Sep 8, 06:11
