$199 is very unlikely but if it happens.360 and PS3 war will be over and PS3 and Wii war will start
even with the price cut i dont think the ps3 will catch up to the wii being down by 30 million so i dought there will be a ps3 wii war
299$ seems likely. 199$? Now I think they are trying to be kamikazes.
By the way, you're telling me that their motive this year is to make a loss and hit mass market price?

What the hell did i say then?They will be making it for $240,abt $10-15 shipping cost and abt $10-15 retailer profit.So that is abt $270-280.No company lets retailer take $25-50 on their product as profits.The main reason was saying all this because Sony predicted it to be a loss making year,if they sell it at $299,they will be able to make profit and that is not their motive this year. |
Selling at $300 would not be profitable to them. If anything they'd just be breaking even.
Again, the cost would be ~$250+, not $240. Then we have packaging costs, shipping and storage costs, bundled equipment costs (cables, controller, etc.), and retail markup of about 5% or $15 on a $300 item. So Sony would be selling them to retail for $285 and be barely breaking even if they cost ~$250 + shipping/packaging/storage + bundled items.
They need to try something new. Like make it so for a short time you can get a PS3 for dirt cheap. with the purchase of 2 games at $59.99. Software sells, as everyone wants, and they get more PS3s out there. I know this might sound crazy, but has anything else worked yet?
PS3 for $199.99 w/ purchase of LBP and MGS4. Everyone's happy.
Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.
Im getting tired of waiting.. the speculation increases day by day, and sony needs to announce this already
This is getting tiring... can't we just take the wait and see approach?

If they release a 199 PS3 SCE would pretty much go out of business. I dont even think they can afford a 100 dollar price-cut, especially with Slim coming out.
Sony needs to start making profit out of PS3, beating 360 does not matter at all.
That would be a really quick "war" if nintendo wanted it to be.
Sony: 199$ for ps3 w/ controller come and and get it.
Nintendo: 179$ for will w/ wii sports, wii sports resort, M+ and pick your own colour.
now i doubt Nintendo would really do this, but it is defantly within their reach to do so. Sony should worry about healing thier brand to the faithful and making money, not pissing contests.
