SCE: Things are looking up. Is a price cut really out of the question?

I can't see it happening before the end of the financial year but i guess Killzone time would be as good as any if they are determined to do it early in the year. Too close to the start of the year though and they risk pissing off the large number of people who picked the system through the holiday period.

 

The very beginning of the next financial year would be the most likely date for a price cut, imo.

 

so +/- April? sounds about right to me, at least in Japan.

First though, maybe they should think of pushing software through more advertising in the Q4, and then drop the Ps3 price slightly in Japan, increase the advertising again, drop price slightly in EU until dropping a $40-$60 price drop in NA and WW in Sony's Q2 (end calendar year 2009)

Easter (very) next year is 12 April, so a cut right before could benefit sales during holidays, that range from short like here in Italy to quite long (but not as long as summer holidays that added to good weather cause a cut to most normal activities, including indoor hobbies) in other countries.
