Gamstop has good news for gamers!
Gamestop, the world’s biggest Game retailer has declared a 57.2 Million dollar 2nd Quarter profit. The retailer is predicting a sales rise of over 23% during the remaining part of this year. Its prediction in taking into account a $50 reduction in the prices of both the Xbox 360 and PS3. Chief Operations officer, Dan DeMatteo, said in a conference call “Our guidance continues to assume the hardware price cut we talked about at the very beginning of the year, assuming there is about a $50 price cut on both the [Xbox 360] and PS3 going into the holiday season.”
The statement that confirms the rumor earlier this month that stealthgamers reported.
Dematteo also mentioned that the sales rise would continue through 2009, “because most likely what will happen is the manufacturers will begin lowering the price to keep the velocity going.”
That is some great news for gamers who currently don’t have the money to buy either one of the consoles, and best of all it is coming from a very reliable source.
If Sony or Microsoft announces a price cut it will be the first this year, since throughout the year both producers have upgraded their hardware or software to boost sales, and now it looks like they have to cut the price.
