| Kantor said: Why do people continue to buy the Wii for no reason? EDIT: I've been against it the entire time, but now I accept it. The PS3 needs a price cut to get second place. It will lose Sony money, but what's worse? Losing some money, or losing a brand name? Sony needs to get to work at making the PS3 easier to manufacture and easier to produce. If the PS3 got to US$300, the X360 would die once and for all. Until then, nothing, not Killzone 2, not God of War 3, maybe not even Gran Turismo, will have long term effects. Sure, the PS3 would win for a week, a month, maybe several months, like MGS4. Of course, it's worth mentioning that, had the price cut not occured, the boost from MGS4 would have been permanent. Of course, people were not buying the PS3 for MGS4. But once the wheels started turning, nothing short of a price cut could stop them. MAYBE a $50 price cut, coupled with Gran Turismo and some other exclusives. I understand that Sony cannot afford to slash the price by $100, but I think that by March, they can cut it by 50 bucks at least. This should keep momentum going, until Gran Turismo and eventually another 50 bucks off keeps the PS3 on a permanent roll. I had been thinking 'just one more week' for several weeks now. I thought LBP would fix this. It didn't. *Sigh* |
It's not that... they are starting to run into their saturation point... even at 350 or 300.. they wont go to much past 24 million before they hit another slow down. I expect that Sony will keep the price untill thye get the 40nm chipset out and then drop it as they can... I wonder how bad that manditory hdd is hurting them as well. They wont to an emergency price drop unless numbers drop to 2007 levels... 23k/wk wont work.... I think 20 million is a wall they will have a hard time crossing... so who knows.
