In my opinion, the biggest thing that Sony has going for them at this point is, they still have a serious price drop available as an option, without the confusion of having to decide how to price two or three different versions proportionately.

Dropping the PS3 to $249 or $199 would dramatically increase sales. For Microsoft to duplicate this, they would probably have to drop the arcade to at least $150, which would probably be awkward, as it would likely undercut sales of the other versions. OTOH, they could just discontinue the arcade and drop the price of the standard model to $199, so I don't know how much of an effect it would have. Still, from what I have seen, a price drop of the same dollar amount generally favors the more expensive console.


U R not going to see Sony dropping price for a good long time.  Sony has to get the PS3 business profitable sooner rather than later or the whole generation will be a loss for Sony.  You will see the PS3 at $199 when the 360 Arcade is $99 and Elite with Natal at $199.

i will not be so sure of it. i can see sony lowering the price to 249.

Do you think that Sony can go this whole generation with the PS3 in the red?  They have already said that currently it doesnt look like the PS3 will be profitable until 2011.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
