Why I think the PS3 won't be discontinued (and why I may be wrong)

NJ5. Do u think Sony can cut price in Europe i mean Us the dollar is pretty weak right now but the Euro is pretty strong so maybe they can cut price in Europe.

Only if the Yen weakens somewhat, and even then it's uncertain. Besides what bdbdbd already said, there's the fact that a 100 € price cut is actually more painful than a $100 one, since the Euro is still worth more than $1. Also, the PS3 sells more in Europe than in USA, so multiply that bigger loss by a larger amount of units as well.

@Tbone: No. Euro has gone down in relation to Yen even more than USD has. Basically PS3:s "good" financial performance has been due to PS3 performing well in Europe and strong Euro.
PS3 pricecut isn't expected before Yen goes down.

Well here in Sweden ps3 will get more expensive i dont now how much but maybe 20-30 euros due the Swedish krona has gotten weaker.

That's quite big news if it's also true for the rest of Europe.
