I do not think gamers care whether or not Sony makes a loss with a price cut this year. Most PS3 owners are waiting for the PS3 to drop in price. $400 to $500 console in US is out of reach for a lot of people. $300 price tage now that is very price attractive.

PS3 price drop in US is unlikely. But a PS3 price drop in PAL region is possible before Xmas this year. PAL region pay double the price the US customers pay for all consoles.

 

You say that they own one and yet they are still waiting for the price to drop???

Potential/ future PS3 owners. I missed one or two words. Big deal.  Price is the main reason which draws customers. The PS3 is the most successful $600 launch console in history. Most consoles that launch over $500 price mark have failed miserably: Neo Geo, 3DO Pippen and some other consoles I can not remember. Price makes a difference.

A $50 price cut reduce price from $400-$500 down to $350-$450 would see a huge boost in PS3 sales. But it would probably happen next year like Benga Benga said after march 31, 2008. FF XIII launch could be the time the PS3 price cut is announced.
