Basically, if the PS3 gets a second price cut within its first year there will be lots of discussions on how the PS3 has sold poorly and Sony is desperate to move units and at the same time people who are interested in the system will wait with the expectation that it will drop another $100 within 6 months. |
Very true. That's the problem with launching such an expensive console, it's hard to do pricing decisions afterwards.
I honestly feel that the Sony is walking on a tight rope with the PS3. The ball is rolling now, the games are coming out and there's not much Sony can do but hope that the next wave of games will save its fate! Why it took so long to launch good games even after the console was delayed, I can't comprehend...
