| Blood_Tears said: By the time PS3 gets to $199.99, i think it may be too late in the gen, with pressure from a next gen Wii and possible x box 720 consumers will be moving on to newer and better systems with more features. Now that is my opinion if we have to wait another 2 years for a price cut. If Sony does another 50 dollar cut next year that should keep PS3 relevant in 2012/13 fiscal year. |
I agree, i think Sony should have dropped the price to $199.99 this year. Even though this is a great price its stil on the pricey side in my opinion and they not even there yet! Sony would have made a big impact with a 100usd cut and a strong ps3 line up. I doubt the ps3 lineup will be this strong ever again in this gen, and i think general interest in the console will start to subside after this holidays (not drastically but just generally).
Sony used the ps2 as an example, of how it sold a large portion of its sales once it hit the 199 price point, but i dont think this applies to the ps3 to the same degree. Increased competition and viable alternatives with very similar libraries will prevent this.
The sooner the next price cut comes the better.
