Is it good for the PS3 to stay in 3rd Place?

Agreed XD, if a PS3 gets a price cut it is game over, PS3 may not be able to take over America, but they will take over the Japan market and EU market. Anyone disagree with me?


DISCUSSSSS

 

While I do think a price cut would but HUGE for the PS3, lets not forget that the 360 is more than likely in just as good of a place for another price cut. If MS went for $149 for the arcade I think they would maintain their margin over a $300 PS3 (which more than likely would really be $350). Of course if Ninty ever drops the price none of this really matters. A $199 Wii would be even more unstoppable.

 

But yes I do think a price cut would lead to a sustained 15%-25% boost. In the end though it seems MS has more money they are willing to blow than Sony in this race. I think they would price the 360 at whatever it takes to beat Sony, even if it means $129. MS is dangerous simply because they are not afraid to lose billions to win this HD race. I don't think Sony is in the same position.
