Thats because the PS3 had an atrocious start. And now with the recession, a $400 price-tag isnt helping, things should get better from this point next year.

Assuming there is a price cut and a slim model, of course.

There is suppose to be a price cut of $100 in August.

I'll believe it when I see it. If Sony does do this large price cut, expect a few things to happen.

1) Microsoft will counter with a $50 price cut across the board on all 3 systems.

2) Sony will lose have about $2 billion in loses for the 2009 year.

3) PS3 will start to sell like crazy and Sony will slowly start to catch up to Microsoft.

4) Expect the 2009 holidays to be very close in hardware sales.
