Beyond that, pricing the PS3 at $199 in 2011 and expecting the PS3 to (suddenly) start selling well, and for it to have a long life is silly. In 2011 it will be trivial for Nintendo and Microsoft to produce much more powerful, much more feature rich consoles, sell them at $199 and have the benefit of being the new product (rather than the 'unpopular' old product). |
Which is why the ps2 is outselling the new "popular" products world wide.
;P
On topic:
The ps3 will never be $199.99 its got to many things for it to be priced that low, also I dont believe sony need it to be $199.99 to steal market share from nintendo.
I think that this year the 40gb will drop to $349.99, and the 80gb will be no longer bundled with MGS4 and priced at $449.99
Games is what will drive sales, sure it may still be expensive, but sony have to make money.
