Sales - America up! - View Post

Well in all honesty, does anyone really expect a price drop in the next couple of months? Considering the PS3 is going to be recieving a hardware revision to implement the new 45nm Cell processors sometime around July, which I estimate could cut development costs anywhere between $50 and $120, I don't think Sony has all that much to worry about.

 

I am sure the general consensus here is that Sony will drop the price in the fall. In December it was said that production costs for the PS3 were $448 and it is possible that it may have dropped slightly within the last 4 months although I doubt it would be anything significant but once the 45nm Cell and RSX drop (which supposedly is very soon) I can see Sony profiting on each console sold, especially in Europe. Software sales will also add into the gaming divisions profits as well as PSP and PS2 sales and software for each.

Indeed Sony shouldn't have too much too worry about right now.
