After a fiery conversation, I thought it'd be best to open the question to the VGC public.

That question (if you read the OP!) is this: When will the PS3 reach $199?

Now, it could be cut sometime this year, and it likely will be...but I reckon to only $249

Next year, I don't see it happening, and the year after that is the same. So I reckon early 2014, or in 3 years time. Sony have other things to worry about ATM, such as:

Support for NGP
Profit off the PS3
It's still selling very well WW
Plenty of games coming up
Move software
Re-design
Competitors bringing out new systems

I reckon number 2 is the most important- Sony can't just drop the price if they won't make money from it, and they've already lost enough this gen...

So, what do you reckon? When will the PS3 drop below $200, or $199? Comment below...

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I think definitely that this year is out of the question (which manufacturer has dropped a price by $100 in a year?) and depending on price for parts will depend on how much lower the price goes thereafter...

so Late 2013-2014

Certainly a long time to wait...

How about you win if the PS3 drops below $200 before March 31st 2013, and I win if it's after that time?

And make it 3 weeks of avatar control. I'm not into weak bets (especially if I'll be at University at that time, need something to laugh at when you ineviatibly FAIL! MWAHAHAHAHA!)

So be it, Jedi.

Ok the bet is set then!

I win if PS3 drops below $200 before March 31st 2013, you win if its after that.

We'll make it 4 weeks avatar control ...make it 2 years avatar control if you want, I doubt I'm loosing this bet.
