Lets be honest Pachter is great, he gets such a hard time from gamers. He got the Wii-HD should be out now (2 years ago) totally right.. everyone laughed at him.
In terms of PS3 some people are forgetting basic business practice... the money you lose from cutting the price will be negated by increased sales.
Sony have already been profiting from the latest PS3 slim, its cheaper than the previous version to make, so the margin they are making is actually higher than it was before it came out. If by reducing the price, they are still making a profit but have the chance of selling more units and will sell more software/accessories.
Of course cutting the price of a product doesnt always help increase sales, but they will still be making a profit from it.
That doesnt mean i agree there will be a PS3 price cut this week, just that if Sony feel they need to this year to improve the sales of the PS3, then they have it as an option, its going to happen sometime this year, its just a case of when.
I will say their PR has been amazing this last two weeks and its all Sony in the gaming news at the moment... perhaps they want that good news to continue...
