Week 2 EOC: Boston Consulting Group - Video Games

Vidoegame makers can't dodge recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. But the recession has clearly exacerbated the falloff. "It's highlighting the weak months because if people don't really have a reason to go out to the store, they're not," said John Taylor, a financial analyst for Arcadia Investment Corp. in Portland, Ore., alluding to the industry's tendency to see the biggest sales during the year-end holiday season."WSJ.com" Downloading ps3 games is the way to go if you want to save some serious cash. But watch out! some sites charge on a pay per download basis, and other sites just just don't work very well. They can either be too slow, or not have a good download selection. To avoid this, come visit our site at www.theps3downloadsreview.com so that you can start downloading ps3 games that actually work! Analysts expect Sony to cut the price on its PS3 by about $100 this year, leading to price cuts by Microsoft on some of its Xbox 360 models. The PS3 starts at about $400, compared with the equivalent Xbox 360, which costs about $300. Though Nintendo has said it won't cut prices on its $250 Wii this year, it is expected to do so indirectly by bundling games with the console."WSJ.com"
So it looks like the PS3 is the Star of Marketing. It offers the most out of its console. XBox 360 would be the Question Mark. Microsoft may have to lower prices on it to keep it out there. Rockband is the Cash Cow and Wii is the dog. Now keep in mind this is my analysis of the situation.
