Reasonable on 24 September 2009
If I was Sony I wouldn't want this and FFXIII releasing close to each other in Japan, so I feel that's the main decision here. FFXIII this year and Slim should ensure lots of sales in Japan and GT5 will give further big boost early next year.
Of course, in West FFXIII is not exclusive, so the loss of GT5 is a bit of an issue, but I guess they feel they have a broad enough set of other titles to see them through. With the lower price if I was them I'd think about some form of family/kiddie bundle - maybe a slim with both R&C titles or something of the like.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
