Would a PS3 price cut do it?

I suppose things could always change, but this seems to be Sony's stance for now. "Although analysts say price reductions would benefit PS3 sales, Sony isn't likely to make any price cuts for at least another two years, said Kimberly Otzman, a spokeswoman for Sony Computer Entertainment America. She noted a similar time frame for lowered prices for the PS2. "We probably expect the same for PS3," Otzman said, adding that while the console's price is higher than competitors', it comes completely packaged so consumers don't have to buy extra equipment or attachments." http://kotaku.com/gaming/ps3/sony-ps3-price-cut-not-likely-for-two-years-239816.php[/quote] As I've said before 2 things to consider. 1) The price cut was 1 1/2 years after US launch. They had the option of price cutting at their liesure as they had been on the market longer. 2) Microsoft price cut a mere 6 months after launch when PS2 price cut. Sony can say whatever they want. The fact is, WHEN 360 price cuts they are not really gonna have a choice. They compete for a lot of the same market that 360 does. 360 IS price cutting this year, that's a fact.
