Forums - Sony - DOWN PERISCOPE: Sony to drop PS3 to 299$

Here come the "NO WAY THEY DO THIS ZOMG" replies.

My question is, why you so scared?

If the PS3 "sucks" then matching price with other consoles shouldnt do anything for them right?

All i know is $800 production vs $500 sale is worse than $400 production $300 sale.

So they would still be in better position as far as losses go.

 Sorry...were you quoting someone?  I've read this thread three times and I can't find anyone posting about being afraid of a supposed price drop?

if this is true and mgs 4 is march and demo is feb... holy freaking christ....



Xbox360 and Ps3 owner

I spit in your mouth at nite

 

  

Sony is infamous for lowering production cost of components as such. A good example is the blu-ray diode which dropped nearly like a rock last year.

Im seeing a possibility in this.

 Consoles: Wii & PS3.

well SONY have a few choices

if manufacturing costa ARE at $400

then why not take a $100 loss n get the price below 360's...

I mean they took a $200 loss at launch didn't they

There are few words to describe how happy that would make me.

No words for me.  Just pure shock

If this somehow happened, I would give MASSIVE props to Sony, hell I'll label them as the cost production cutting GODS of the known world. $800 of technology the worlds never seen down to $400 is a feat all on it's own.  Man this would put the gaming world into a coma XD

That will mean other consoles will go cheaper too, at that price I will probably buy it.
But Wii will be like 150 and Xbox 360 about 200... so the all market will change

I doubt this since, for better or worse, Sony likes to keep their prices high for profit purposes. I don't blame this for doing this with the PS3 cause they have already slashed the price 33% since launch.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Sony definately is trying to push price down as soon as possible, to beat 360 in sales and get 3rd party support, but somehow i doubt pricecut this early. I would have guessed april-may at earliest, but who knows, jan 28th pricedrop is possible. @elgefe: I don't see this causing Wii pricedrop. Well, in Europe maybe, if it will have effect.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

ok WTF with the changing picture in the sig LOL. And yeah they could follow suit, but I don't see this putting preasure on the Wii, this would more or less force MS to react.
