PS2 Price Cut Boosts Sales, Sony Says
From Reuters
The U.S. video game arm of Sony Corp. said that sales of its PlayStation 2 had more than doubled in North America since it cut the price of the video game console a month ago.
Sony Computer Entertainment America reduced the prices of the stand-alone PlayStation 2, formerly $179.99, and the PlayStation 2 Combo Pack, formerly $199.99, to $149 at last month’s Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.
Year-over-year sales were up 26%, Sony said.
A Sony spokeswoman said unit sales were averaging about 150,000 a week since the price cut.
