Microsoft will be planning for this and will be 'Price Competitive' when Sony does lower the price on PS3. However, SCEE disagrees stating "not to expect a price cut this Spring" and is sticking to the "Value Added" idea . via. Kotaku "The PlayStation 3 will get a price drop in 2009. It just has to if Sony wants the console to keep up, install base-wise. Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg agrees and expects a cheaper PS3 within months. He tells Edge Online that Microsoft is planning on its console competition becoming more price competitive in 2009. Not really his call, obviously, but failing to plan means planning to fail, right? "We absolutely expect the PS3 price drop to happen in the next couple of months," Greenberg said, following recent Microsoft sales boasting. "We're frankly surprised it's taken this long. I would expect they'd have to move on price, sooner than later, for sure." Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president David Reeves disagrees. He says not to expect a price cut this Spring, sticking to the "value added" thing. With PlayStation 3s reportedly getting cheaper to make, we'd expect it sooner rather than later — "no plans" notwithstanding." |
Ok, I don't know why, but I feel like maybe'm the only one why actually looked at what was said. Every one stop, breathe, and RTFA. it says
"He tells Edge Online that Microsoft is planning on its console competition becoming more price competitive in 2009."
Greenburg, isn't saying they're going to drop the price. He's saying Microsoft is planning on its competition (Sony) becoming more price competitive this year. He is saying he thinks Sony will get closer to their price point, that is all. How am I the only one who can see this.
