TheSource said: I think we're more likely to see "value added" measures and a $50 price cut than a $100 cut from Sony which to me, with PS3 down 1m YOY in Apr-Jun means a price cut. There are rumors that independent trade shops in the UK won't stock the PSP, and that French retailers have no interest in selling the device. I expect it to do well in Japan but I dont think Sony should be real optimistic outside Japan. Its starting to look like 2008 was the hardware peak for this round of machines (DS/PSP/360/PS3/Wii) so I'm actually more interested in software trends at this point. We could end up seeing the Wii, DS, PS3 and 360 all top 500m units of software (DS/Wii are givens) which is unbelievable considering last generation only PS2 was within a whiff of 500m sw.

so you dont feel that in 2010 with a price cut for wii, and by then a 100 dollar drop for the ps3, they will be able to push the gen up for one more sales record, it remains to be seen how the 360 will do in 2010 (5 years of growth would be insane )
