Cut the price to $299/299EUR and sales will explode. Their greatest strength is their studio system, no question. Little Big Planet alone is going to be a heavyweight franchise, and KZ2 and GoW3 are in the pipeline. Home also has huge potential, but I'm still waiting to see if Sony is going to give gamers the creative freedom they need. |
No matter how low Sony drops the price of the PS3, Microsoft will drop the 360 price lower.
When it comes to that aspect of the business, Sony is fucked. I doubted MS's competence in 2007 but they've proven me wrong in 2008. They knew exactly what Sony had done wrong and they've exploited it to their advantage.
The best part for them is that they didn't have to lose their ass doing it.
