| Reasonable said: I don't think the price cut will be enough as Japan will obviously go to PS3 while the US difference is only showing as approx 5K. So no, I think WW PS3 will still squeak past 360. Personally I think the PS3 would gain bigger boost than 360 from price cut but it seems Sony is content to wait and see at the moment rather than drive more sales via another price move. |
I agree, I think the PS3 would benefit a lot more from a price cut than the 360, I still expect the PS3 to outsell the 360 WW this week, next week might be a lot tighter however.
And it's not that I don't think Sony is just sitting and waiting, what I think is happening is, Sony is probably making a profit on each PS3 sold now, so they are probably waiting on a price cut until costs go down to where they can cut the PS3 to $299 without having to sell it at a loss. They have already lost a lot of money with the PS3 and now it's time to make all that money back.
