Ouch. Expected and all but what can Sony do to improve the lack of PS3 sales. Don't think even a price cut would do a huge amount over the long term IMO.

300% increase in NA YOY, 200% increase in EU YOY

PS3 is the only console in history to have such increased sales even months after a price cut.

 

 

A $200 price reduction (potentially the biggest price reduction ever), the Blu-Ray format winning (and the PS3 being the least expensive and only fully compatible Blu-Ray player), and the release of two of the biggest games of the generation should be credited for that ... it wasn't just a price reduction.

 Is it actually still supposed to be the cheapest blu-ray player on the market? I swear I saw a player for $350 (or possibly slightly less) in Wal-mart a month or so back. I won't be able to check again for a week or so to see if it was just a sale price or what have you. A quick search online show similar prices though.

It's still the best Blue Ray player on the market due to the ability to do firmware update.

Blue-Ray standards is still evolving and some of the players on the market won't support all the upcoming features or will require complex updates to support.
