A 150$ PS3 would really screw up the WiiU launch. Sony is playing this one pretty smart.


No it wouldnt... just like a super cheap 360 wont "really screw up" a WiiU launch.  The people in the market for an ultra cheap current gen consoles arent early adopters of new gen consoes.

Some very, very odd thinking from quite a few posts in this thread...

I'm an early adopter of the PS3 and 360. I don't have a 360 anymore and I want a Wii U. I'd probably go for 360 again instead of the Wii U if the price went down to £150 compared to Wii U's £250-300 tag.

Point is there are people who have 1 of the 2 HD consoles and would of got the Wii U, but would be willing to get the other HD console if the price went low enough instead of a new system. And also game consoles will be on people's mind around christmas, are little Timmy's mummy and daddy gonna get him a $300 Wii U or a $200 PS3? It would far from destroy the Wii U's launch, but it could cause some damage. 

How about £112.46? Assuming you only care about retail games of course (Its the 4gb)

€dit: i just looked, 320gb ps3 is 214 euro atm on german amazon. a 16gb model could maybe go for 99 euro then.


A 320GB HDD costs like 45€ (probably more like 30-40€ for Sony as only costumer prices really rose after the Thailand floods), while 16GB of NAND-flash plus NAND-controller cost 10-15€.

So Sony can save around 20-30€ by moving to flash and you expect the console to be more than 100€ cheaper?

LOL?


Your logic is totally off, people should be loling at you instead of the opposite. Obviously different SKUs are going to have different margins of profit, for instance a $300 320GB  SKU could be manufactured for $190 and a $180 16GB SKU could be manufactured for, say $150. Besides, just so you know HDDs of higher capacity are often cheaper to manufacture than lower capacity's ones due to the HDD's magnetic plates of higher density being easier to manufacture. The cheaper SKUs are sometimes, if not often, more expensive to manufacture.

You would assume wrong :P I want the 250gb model. XBLA is as big a reason I want it as Gears 3, Forza 4 and the Halo series is.

Meant to put a wink at the end, yes i would assume XBLA would be a major point to getting an X-box, i'll try again then.

£150.... 

 

On topic Slim for $200 250GB and 500Gb $249 and 500Gb $299 with PASBR and LBPK. That would be a good bundle.

The cheaper SKUs are sometimes, if not often, more expensive to manufacture.

My guess for the official pricing is 16GB: 170€, 250GB: 200€ and 500GB: 250€. Of course the margins for the bigger models will be higher, but only 99€ for the cheapest model seemed ridiculous, so I had to respond something to that (and as my english isn't the best I kept it short and perhaps oversimplified it).

If the 16GB only would cost 99€ why should anybody buy a bigger model? I could just go with the 16GB-model and buy me a 500GB HDD for around 50-60€ myself. But for some reason a price point of 99€ for the cheapest model is guessed by a lot of people. Those will only be disappointed if the don't stop dreaming (99€ likely would mean a loss on every unit Sony ships).
