The price cut won't have major effect, because Microsoft can cut the prices again, and if PS3 outsells them, they will.

^ Pristine20 and I didn't :P

 

 

Yes, but I believe the two of you would say such things in order to convince the masses to buy the PS3 now, instead of waiting for the price cut.

If the probable price cut became common belief, it would kill momentum of the console moving into Killzone 2. You guys are not the only Sony fans pushing this "don't wait for a price cut, it's not coming" fiasco across the Internet.

My prediction?

50 bucks mid year, 50 more xmas.

NJ5 a sony fan? Lol

Sony's financials have been troubling and the yen hasn't done them any favors. I also think someone posted an interview where one of the sony execs talked about finally getting costs reductions to the ps3 architecture in 2010.

Frankly I'd love for them to have a price cut and sell more consoles. I, however, realize that it would be at the expense of the business which is worse. Better to come in 3rd place than to go out of business. Just ask nintendo about the GC.

As for the masses, if they can't afford a ps3, 360 is a reasonable alternative as many have proven from sales data.
