This shouldn't even be a question when full fiscal year's forecasts are 15m by Nintendo and 25m by Sony.
3.3m for the first quarter is a weak result when you are aiming for 25m. It confirms what I had suspected, that Sony's temporary price cuts in July and onwards were a necessity due to a presumably slower than expected (by Sony themselves) April to June period. The launch of a new SKU in combination with a permanent price cut for the PS5 this fall is already a given. Whether that cut will be $50 or $100 is up in the air, but if Sony wants to meet that 25m target, they'll have to make the most expensive PS5 SKU $450/€450 at the most.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
