now matter how cheaper the ps3 is now compare to last year or '06, it was never officially called a price cut, it's called a hardware revision. there have only been temporary price cuts to bring in a DIFFERENT lower priced model. Sony only reduced the price of the 80GB in usa, the rest was never officially announced as a price cut, they never said: hey world were cutting the price of the ps3. they said we are bringing in our fourth hardware revision where we have took away some features to make it cheaper to produce" thats it.
the dreamcast sold around 10 million.
this is in the sony section of the forums cos i wanted it to be a sony thread but then this idea came up and i forgot to change threads, sorry.

No matter howmuch you want to believe that, or no matter how much you want Sony to pay you, no one looks at these price cuts as "hardware revisions" (except for you and Sony). They WANT the public to see them as price cuts. They WANT the public to percieve the devices as affordable. Why would they want the public to see them cutting prices because they are getting an inferior product? Why are you even bringing this up?

 

 Ironically there have been two times Sony has announced a price cut for the PS3. The 60gb "clearance sales" label was added after it was discovered a few days later that the model was being discontinued. Sony never came out and said it was going to discontinue the model at the time, but when confronted with the facts did admit the truth. Then later they announced the 80gb price cut which covered the same price ranges oddly enough.
