Cheeper is always better, but Sony has yet to drop it's prices due to competitions pricing. Sony will drop it's price when it can afford to sell at a cheaper price. Nothing that GTA does will change that. Remember, Sony dropped it's price first, and then MS responded. It was not the other way around. |
But it did that in face of slow sales remember. Sony knows that game publishers look at trends. They do NOT want Microsoft to be able to say to game publishers "we are winning in America, and tying in the EU, here is $5 million to make your game Xbox 360 exclusive." Sony needs to sell enough consoles to make sure Microsoft has to pay a TRUCKLOAD for third party exclusives. The last thing Sony needs is the trend of the 360 getting great third party exclusives like Bioshock and Mass Effect continuing.
