Seeing as the PS3 is approximately a million years old, I think Sony can afford to cut the price. I don't get why they just let the sales suffer for no apparent reason.


a major ps3 price cut could hurt the ps4's success.

 

 

 

 

i might do a thread on that

It's been almost a decade since launch; you really think they're competing for the same market space? One thing we can't overlook is the 2007-2012 economy vs. the 2014-2015 economy.

PS: The thread sounds interesting.

well it's selling decently at like $300 or something like that so i'm thinking if sony cuts that price by $150 or something that shit would fly off the shelves. so maybe if sony holds out long enough until ps4's big exclusives drop,  a ps3 price cut could could move a lot more ps3's while not taking momentum away from ps4. however, you are right by saying whoever wanted a ps3 probably already got one. it's been a decade.

I think PS3 is already dead in big markets like USA/UK/JP so sony should focus PS3 on smaller/last to jump markets like latin american/asian market.

$200 price point focusing in this countries would help PS3 a lot without hurting PS4.

 

PS2 was able to sell a lot after next gen started....

A 150 ps3. Make it happen.

Won't get any better than this?

Probably will go up a bit more tomorrow. But not an impressive looking launch based solely off of Amazon

PS4 #9, XB1 #18, for Feb. Hopefully The Order helps widen that gap.

I say cut the Ps3 Price when either Zesteria or Yakuza 5 drops
