Why is the answer to everything always a price cut? Its like noone expects that Sony can actually do anything to raise the appeal of the console without first cutting the price. A lot of people seem to be acting like teens as if the console is already unaffordable when the target market is mainly the 18-35 range who have jobs and an income. Anyone who can afford to have an HD TV can afford to own a PS3. The reason more people aint buying is because Sony hasn't convinced enough people that the PS3 is worth $299.

It's not just about cutting the price as you're putting it. It's about cutting it to a COMPETITIVE price.

The Xbox 360 is $299 for its main SKU

The Xbox 360 average selling price was $269

The PS3 is $299 for its main SKU

The PS3 ASP was something like $315

Whats uncompetitive about that price?

that there's is a 199 sku on the market and 299 has never ever ever ever in the history of ever have been a mass market price.

Which is irrelevant if the $299 SKU outsells it 2:1 which also outsells the PS3.

and you know this how???

so your gonna completely ignore the fact that there is a MUCH cheaper price to the 360, and what me to believe that the mass market that 360 capitalized on over the holiday did the same, if so then don't respond to this post as we are gonna have to agree to disagree. Sorry
