Why is it desperatly clear that people want a PS3? I mean I have easy access to one that my roomate bought but no real use for it so far its been used to play Madden for about a month and Resistance for about 3 weeks I mean not saying the console is not entertaining or anything but based off that I don't think a lot of people want a PS3 right now and just can't afford it. To explain basically from a subjective viewpoint yeah I want games like FFXIII and Heavenly sword but if you dropped the price of the PS3 today I wouldn't go get one assuming I didn't have access because those games aren't here and there has been no supply issue for the PS3 since the first month of release. So yeah basically just curious where the assumption comes from that people want the PS3 but can't afford it. Also I believe I have read here and in various other places that the PS3 won't recieve a price drop until late 2008 which would make since as I believe at its launch the PS3 was losing around 240 dollars a console that seems like quite a bit to make up in just 6-8 months time maybe 50 dollars maybe but then again do you want to cut the price 50 dollars when you've just stopped losing more than 200 dollars for every system you sell I mean at that much of a loss Sony probably needs to sell 10+ games before making a profit even close to what Nintendo and Microsoft make on the sale of their systems anyways point is can't see a price drop doing anything other than harm to PS3 at this point and time.
