Would a PS3 price cut do it?

zsidane said: I personnaly never planned to buy a PS3 before 2-3 years because I can't put the price on it, so I won't jump on it just because it costs 100$/€ less. But I'm sure there will be more people that will go and buy it at that new price. How many people? Nothing compared (in my opinion) to the sales that everyone here is looking for. They need more good games and more people with HDTVs. By the way, wiche one will you chose? a 360 w/HD-DVD (Zephyr) or a PS3 (at the same price) ?

Well as I pointed out on another thread. I would buy the 500 dollar PS3, which is cheaper than the equivalent 400 dollar 360 + 200 dollar HD-DVD add on. In 2006 more than 50% of all TVs sold in America were HDTVs. So it's already broken that barrier and will probably achieve close to 100% current market sells within then next few years. It won't sell like the PS2 for a long time, but I think it can actually have a longer life cycle than the PS2 did.
