All these quotes of Kaz Hirai etc. It was marketing all the way - I was talking about it from the very beginning. Seriously I can't believe people expect manufactures to confirm further price drops... |
Well one of them is right here. Unlike Sony's executives and some posters around here, I can eat my crow when I'm mistaken. This is an actual price cut because the 40GB is being priced $100 lower than the $500/600 price point the PS3 had here at launch. I do wonder what they are going to do about the 60GBs that are still sitting on the shelves. Are they going to buy them back, because I doubt retailers are going to be willing to take the hit for them. The average consumer won't know that the 60GB model has the best PS2 BC, so they are going to look at the 80GB model as the better deal.
