Look at it this way. Sony is in the hole deep. Now tell me, are you going to lower the sales cost and lose even more money on each PS3 sold further compounding your losses over the holiday season or are you going to keep it 600 and gradually lower production costs allowing for a better return and let the Holiday season sell a boat load of the more expensive units before considering a price cut? Besides I don't think a Single Sony fan should want a PS3 price cut, if they have so much faith in the games, they should relish the fact that Sony will be making their money back sooner by keeping the price where it is.

Also, think of the psychological fallout, a price cut sounds good to you who already owns a Ps3 and wants more people to own one, but at this point it wouldn't sound too good to a perspective buyer. Crazy you say? Hear me out. Imagine a console dropping in price, $100 or $200 dollars in its first year, not even the Dreamcast went down the shitter that fast. You drop the price on the PS3 now and yeah, you'll have a considerable sales spike, but no where near what it could have been because you've just scared off the majority of potential buyers by taking the action of a company trying to liquidate stock before abandoning a product. Who wants to buy a console that's about to die? And even though the PS3 isn't dying, try telling that to the casual consumers whom don't keep up on Sony news and whom you've just made shit themselves.
