The PS3 Price Cut is Not Going to Help Sony in Europe

@ OP

It doesn't make sense. A price cut right now is impossible with sony's current financials but saying a price cut won't help them saleswise is a bit strange to me especially with the 360's current sales boost.

Cheap prices make people think less before they buy. I honestly won't be watching game reviews on gametrailers if games cost $20 not $60. Cheaper prices would sell anything. It's simple economics.

 

I'm the OP and I suggest you read the whole OP.

Of course it will help them sales-wise. But it will help them just to the degree it will help them in the UK and in the US. I.e. it will not help them to regain this absolute "only game in town" position they had before. They will never be the only game in town anymore.
