PS3 is already deemed a failure by Sony (Kutaragi Sacked) and I seriously question how much more losses the larger company are prepared to receive on it's behalf. PS3 will no doubt recieve price drops in-line with reduced manufcturing costs (although these are made harder when you aren't manufacturing much) but I seriously doubt that the profitable side of Sony will be prepared to put their balls on the line for the sake of the PS3. In short, Sony will not make the PS3 any more of a liability than it already is and any price drop will be in-line with reduced manufacturing costs. Talk of anything more than a $100 price drop (maximum and probably not enough) is fanciful. |
If it was a "failure" then why is sony investing even more money in the system to begin with? Blu-ray players have dropped since last year by 500 dollars so they can drop the price of the ps3 at any time, Some standard blu-ray players already cost $499.99 made by sony. A blu-ray player is the only thing making the ps3 cost this much, Sony migth actually be gaing money in ps3 sales since the march fiscal year. I think by this holiday season sony's console (60gb) will cost anywhere from $599.99-$449.99, thats what I expect my prediction.
