They'll probably do a Move bundle for $299 and continue to profit.

They may even have a $250 deal without Move and break even on that model (depending on what their current profit rate is of course).

exactly what i think will happen.

 

Move bundle could profit $299.And if they remove DS3 for MOVE cause it has all the buttons and functions of DS3,will make it a impossible for them to lose anything with Move bundle

 

THE $249 without Move bundle will hapen if MS get the Slim arcade to $149 which very very likely.

 

 

since they have said no price cut's for a year then maybe they will be cheeky and bundle extra stuff in come fall, I think they will wait to see how well MS does with their price cut on x360 before making any moves ;);)

They said no price cuts last year too

 

anyways i agree they will wait for what MS does but i think Arcade will get a pricecut with Slim

So what will be the next thing used to attack the PS3?



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

@huax : The PS3 is too black.

This could mean various things:
*Now Sony could invest in more games, second party contracts, thirth party and even buy some new studios.
*For end of year (depending how much they can cut produccion cost from now till then) maybe a 50 buck pricecut. And a PS3+Move bundle for $299.
*Sony just keep quiet now and recover themself after 3.5 years of loss, slowly.

Those damn 360 racists, lol.  Or maybe it will be it's too quiet.  Or stays too cool.  I can see it now.  "A man's console should sound like a jet engine taking off."  "I'm so hardcore, I played my 360 to death."    Actually, I have read some 360 guys post a variation of the last one.

But, this news just enforces what I think will happen later this year.  Sony will wait for MS to make the first move.  I imagine it will be a $50 price cut to the Elite (probably not the Arcade).  Then Sony will then be able to afford to drop the price to $269.99-$279.99, while either breaking even or making a small profit, and still take the steam out of MS's price cut.  I'm guessing the Move PS3 bundle will be priced ~ $299.99-$319.99.

I don't think Sony should wait to see what Microsoft does.

It'll look like a desperation move on Sony's part. They need to keep the guns blazing.

Force Microsoft to respond to them again.

Launching Move, GT5 and 3D in close succession combined with a price cut and lots of HW and/or SW bundles?

If this is true then it only took them three and a half years to do what Nintendo did on day one. Still ironic that most people bought one because it was a PS3, not because of the performance which cost them billions to implement. They may as well have taken the money in cash and set fire to it on a barge for all the good it really did in making the PS3 the behemoth it used to be.



Tease.
