psp is dying outside Japan

PS3 selling so well I wonder if any price cut is needed.

remember:

360 selling "just right" for a $200 machine.

PS3 selling "excellent" for a $400 machine.

If Sony can keep posting mass-market numbers with an elite-class priced product, I see no hurry or concern for a price cut anywhere on the globe.

keep on opening the gap 360 cause a ps3 price cut is not far off. not that it even needs one that much but you can just sence that a price cut is coming and when that happens i just cant see the 360 ever outselling the ps3 again cause the next price cut will be a big one.

 

you forget, MS can do the same, it is good postion for MS, they just doing a price cut too simple as that,

sony on the hand, have to think 1000 times to do the same thing. they are on difficult position.

 

the thing about MS they already hit the 'sweet spot' on the price point. they are at the point where they can maybe do another $50 off but the rest is up to bundles and exclusives and all that good stuff to sell their system.

The thing about M$ is that they also realized that in late 2007, PS3 was lagging, and sony cut prices, and when on a little run to their expense, so they are going to ensure that doesn't happen again.  The arcade at $179, and the pro at $249 would be hard to beat by Sony, and the 360 might acutally present a little challenge to the Wii at those prices.  Personally, I think M$ might have a new slim 360 on tap...this is year number 4, and that 45 nm chipset can't be too far off.

 

 

that would fall under "and all that good stuff"

but agreed, although i am having trouble visualizing a 'slim' 360 as its already pretty slim imo

These numbers are logic : we can see a lot of advertissement for the 360 in France .

Even for Resident Evil 5 , they say " Resident Evil 5 , on X BOX 360 , console sold for 179 euros "

Lack of games combined with huge HD releases is starting to hurt Wii in Others after Japan.
Wii hasn't had over 50% weekly marketshare in Others for a month ( since Feb 14th).



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Remember, this is about making, so you're right...if Sony can get it's cost down to make ps3, then a price cut isn't needed,...then convince the publisher of the long term viability of being the 3rd place console on the market, but taking the greatest amount of effort to program for.  This is a business, and ROI is far more important, then delivering the strongest graphics.

For me..."slim" is a code word for 45nm...reduced power consumption...and hopefully a slightly bigger HDD...

holy shit.... 360 is gonna surge this year.... I can feel it. Year on Year growth for 4 years on the bounce.

I agree with you on this! the 360 keeps increasing everywhere apart from japan, I really can see a surge happening this year where the 360 stays very close to the wii in terms of sales,

 

The PS3, i'm sure you can work that out for yourselfs, not good lol
