| Lost tears of Kain said: Umm i stopped reading when you said xbox had the least diverse game not having any jrpgs...... considering that at the moment xbox has more jrpgs then ps i dont know what your talking about. As for saying that games wont push sales then we could say that about every single person who says ff etc will push sony. As for ps3 being 300 thats possible if sony wants to lose even more money on the ps3, they are losing huge ammounts and unless they can really decrease production costs it would cost a fortune to drop it this low. I can see the possiblility of it being that low but it all depends on cost of production and if blue ray wins the HD format (its winning right now ) =) |
1) If you'll read more carefully, I said that it doesn't have any prominent JRPGs. Eternal Sonata and Blue Dragon have been rather dissapointing, and the PS3 is still outselling the 360 in Japan despite them.
2) The high price of the PS3 at launch was because Sony knew that several of the PS3's components would decrease in price almost immediately, and they have. Blu-Ray diodes alone are more than $100 cheaper to manufacture than they were at launch, they've removed the Emotion Engine, and the Cell processor will become cheaper to manufacture once they move to a 65nm process. This is why the 60GB model is being phased out(80GB HD's are also cheaper to buy in bulk). There can easily be a $299 PS3 by next Christmas, Sony just didn't think they'd have to do so until much later.
