| rocketpig said: I also doubt we'll see $100 price drop on the PS3 again this year. That would be a huge drop for Sony in only 24 months on a console they were losing a boatload of money on at launch. It would also mean that Sony has dropped the price of the PS3 by $200 in 24 months while MS has only dropped the price of the 360 by $140 in 36 months... Unless Sony wants to keep losing money faster than a member of Gamblers Anonymous in Las Vegas, they will have to slow with the price drops sooner or later. |
I see it happening. The PS3 was released with very high-end and newly developed technology (The BR player and the CELL). It also released with PS2 hardware that has now been removed.
The speed that the components will drop in cost is a lot greater than the 360.
It’s like the new Mac Book Air with the SSD drive. Today you pay $1000 just for the HD. In two years, that same drive will probably cost 40 bucks.
I see it dropping $100 this year.
