| SlorgNet said: I'm mystified by Sony's pricing strategy right now. It's peak holiday season, amidst the worst economic slump in generations, which means expensive toys just aren't going to sell. After two years, they surely have cut their costs to the point they could slash the price to $299/299EUR. What gives? Is Sony simply getting greedy, figuring it can milk BluRay the way Microsoft milked Windows? Because cheap BluRay players are arriving, which means that strategy won't work. Or are they planning to slash the price early next year? Whatever the case, $400 ain't going to cut it in a consumer recession this nasty. Do they know what they're doing, or is this a sign - along with the appointment of Stringer of CEO - that Sony is becoming a fat, lazy, American-style monopolist more interested in financing shareholders than innovation, and who thinks it can tell consumers what they want? |
Not excactly, I have read an article about the bosss of SONY and putting that corporation back on track is not an easy business. It is very decentralized, un-consolidated and ruinous ... The guy is not lazy, I can assure you

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
