Forums - Sony - PS3/Vita price cut coming?

superchunk said:
nah. Its unlikely they'd cut price this early... maybe Vita just due to lagging sales, but definitely not PS3. That will happen closer to PS4 launch.

Dude, it's likely they'll announce it on feb 20th. Vita needs it more than ever, it will bomb without it and Sony knows that.

So, you're saying it would be wise to wait 'til the 20th before picking up a PS3 or Vita?



In my opinion they need to cut the price sooner than later to make the pricing of the ps4 make more sense



Oh, and I don't expect a pricecut announcement until after GoW launch (wouldn't make sense to announce a bundle and price if they are going to cut prices before). Hopefully at e3 they announce a effectively immediatly price cut for the Ps3 and in my opinion it needs to be less than 200 dollars. $175 in my opinion... Half of what the new system launches at makes sense to me. $350model and $400. Giving a cheap introduction for last gen technology and an option for early adopters in the next gen.

You should pick up both around Holiday if you want them. That's when they get marked down.

I think PS3 will definitely see a pricecut a little before or when PS4 launches. I doubt they'll mention it now. It's selling the best of the 4 consoles on the market.

A Vita price cut announcement is possible but would be kinda embarassing as it would be admitting it's struggling when they are trying to put on their best face. If it happens, it'll be like an after thought. Oh btw Vita price cut.



 

Sony is launching a $349.99 500GB PS3 bundle with all GOW games in March..

unlikely they'd cut the price of the ps3, considering the ps3 is currently the top selling console in the market over Wii/Wii U and Xbox 360

that is a good point but didnt microsoft do that last year with the halo 4 bundle? I could be wrong but i thought they announced the bundle amd later did the temporary price cut 



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Sony certainly can make hype if they announce that. But seriously a vita price cut could happen at anytime, who knows when it will actually happen. I'm on it as soon as they do though. PS3 is not too likely to see a price cut though



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030
