Sony is doing the right thing now by focusing on profitability and with this strategy they are still selling a decent number of consoles. On the other hand if they were to drop the price just $50 they could have a decent sized increase in hardware sales. This minor price cut could let more people pull the trigger to buy the console. These added sales would also allow them to be more open for more game sales. And we all know that the majority of the profit comes from game sales. I believe that a minor cut like this could actually make Sony more profit than at its current price. As for the $299 price, that price is way too low for Sony to go right now. The added software sales would not offset the lose on the console sales. I do believe that if we were not in this global recession that Sony would be more inclined to drop the price to this level as more people would spend the money on tons of games for it.
