Actually he was predicting a price cut for February to coincide with KZ2 yesterday on Steam. Seems he was off by a month. :/ |
Yep! 
I was predicting the PS3 would have a $50 price cut in early 2009 for Americas because if they leave it too late the horse would have already bolted. I think Others will recieve its price cut in September 2009 or so, they need Others to subsidise the American price cut because they need to show a profit especially in this economic climate.
The question is, will Microsoft respond to a PS3 price cut immediately? If they do it'll go something like $175/180 Arcade and $250 Premium and $350 Elite to maintain that 2:1 ratio between the Arcade SKU and the PS3s lowest model. It really depends on how aggressive Microsoft wants to be, they still haven't factored in the Jasper shrink into their pricing as its not quite released yet.
Tease.
