Yeah, Playstation systems are known for their longevity. The PS3 recently had a pricecut in Japan at the end of last month. I wonder if Sony will cut the price everywhere else.

Oh, I did not realize there was a recent price cut for the PS3 in Japan. Must have missed that. Go to know. I was sort of surprised that Sony did not announce a price cut in the US for later this year in time for the holidays. Since they have been so silent on it to this point, however, I guess that is not happening. I think it would be a good idea and really boost US sales this holiday season but it appears they feel it is doing fine at the current price point and want to wait for another time. Would have loved to see what it could acomplish in Nov. and Dec. with a price cut for sure. 

Yeah, it'll be nice if Sony cuts the price before holiday kicks in. The PS3 got a price cut because the internals got replaced with smaller and consequently, cheaper parts. I'm theorizing that Sony doesn't want to take away any of the PS4's thunder because holy moly, is it taking September by storm!

They'll drop PS3 price at the same time aas they drop PS4 price IMO. That way attention won;t be taken off PS4. And why would you cut the price of an 8 year old, last gen system that's still selling over 50K per week? Might as well squeeze as much late gen profit out of PS3 as possible to reduce that 7th gen loss as much as possible when the final PS3 is sold and all the numbers are tallied.
