Sony could afford to wait to cut the price

The machine has so much staying power that Sony can afford to slowly cut the price

Is that why they dropped the price by 200 € / 33% in Europe before the PS3 even had its first holiday season?

If these are slow price drops it should be amusing to see fast price drops.

 

those are small price drops, it have 500$ - 400$ -300$ price cuts and sony as a whole didn't loose money until the depression start to hit hard.

and compared to the 360 it have 2 price cuts in europe in 2008- they are small.

In Europe the PS3 launched for 600 € in March 2007. 7 months later, it cost 400 € (and lost 20 GB of hard drive space in the process).

If this is a slow price cut, I'm Santa Claus.

 

hi santa.

there was a ps3 500$ the 20gb version 60gb version was 600$.  as price cut  it went down 100$ replaced by 40gb,400$, but the more expensive 600$ also have a cut.

u are making look like ps3 only had a 40gb version at 400$, the more expensive 80gb was still 500$+.

it took 2 years for the ps3 to go from 400$ to 300$ of course when your console cost more to manufacture price cut can be seen as bigger, 360 have way more price cuts compared 360 which had 2 price cuts in the region.

wtf@ all-

360 can be bought for 199$, u guys are comparing the cheapest ps3 to the most expensive 360 in price cuts.

ps3 highest model was launched at 600$ most expensive now it's 400-350$ 160gb-250gb

lowest was 500$ it's now 300$ after 3 years.

elite was $479.99  April 29, 2007 in North America and it's now 300$.

arcade 299$ in 2007 now 199$ but looks like it's going to be 100-150$ soon
