As you can see here, Sony is only expecting to break even on hardware towards the end of 2009 / early 2010, so I think you can forget about price cuts this year. Maybe mid to late 2010.

PS3's price was dropping too fast anyway... If it dropped to 300 € this year, it would be half price just 2 years after launch here in Europe.

 

yeah, no price cut confirmed right?  why dont you cut the bullshit ? what do you gain for spreading nonsense like that? The fact is NOBODY , not you, not the devil or god knows, ok? so cut the crap and don't insult people around here with that kind of failed logic.

 

wat?

By the way my logic is not failed, in fact I've been right more often that not with this logic. Of course it's just my opinion, but I think anyone can guess that seeing as I'm just a mortal man.

 

opinion yet you present it as a fact or something very likely to happen. As for the second part of your post stating the price was coming down too fast, consider the PS2 and also consider the Xbox 360.

PS2 launch price on October 26, 2000 was US$300.  30 months later approx. May 2003, it was US$180, that's 40% off the launch price for a system that had laughable competition at best.

Xbox 360 launch price was $400/$300 Novermber 2005.  35 months later approx. October 27 2008 and present it is $300/$200(and elite $350) that's only 25%/33% off the launch price in such a long time.

PS3 on the other hand, launched at $600/$500, currently stands at $400/$500, with real cut happening just 11 months (October 2007) after it launched for 17%/20% off the launch prices.

With the PS3 entering its 3rd year, why could by any logic be considered "too fast" if by, let's say JUNE 2009, the prices were cut $100 more to make it $300/$400 making that way 40% / 33% off the launch price after 30 MONTHS just as the PS2 was relatively priced before!

I'm not saying it would be right, or convenient or wrong or possible, whatever. But don't come to me with your logic telling me about "fast" and "forget about price cut" like it's some kind of ridiculous far-fetched idea.
