Sony has had 1 $100 price cut for the PS3 lifetime. The redesigned 40 Gig PS3 was introduced for $400 replacing the 20 Gig at $500. Sony is also on pace to meet their shipment target of 10 million for 2008 and they were able to outsell the 360 for most of the year despite the significant price advantage the 360 had. The fact that Sony is able to meet their sales expectations despite the competition being more than half the price is pretty amazing. |
I had thought the ps3 came out with a higher end unit at 600 was i wrong? if you want you can call it one cut of 200. since the 20 gig was hard to come buy always where the 60 gig was plentiful.
but out side of that 10 million in a year was a very conservative call, and the fact that they will only just be able to beat it shows the pain they are in.
to take this further, they have had to continually strip features out of the console since launch to try and make a profit on it. thats desperate.
and half the price only acounts for the arcade (see we can both be nit picky) so no.
you are trying to spin this in a good light for sony, and its just not a good place for them to be at all right now. granted i do feel they can trun it around next year. will not be the power that they have in the past, but they can aim for profitablility and most likely achive it
