What a suprise, Sony lied that there would be a price drop soon, who cares? Every company is going to lie about impending price drops, otherwise they would kill sales, can't we just stop resurecting dead threads
| DreamsCast said: An interview with Sony Computer Entertainment America chief Jack Tretton in the latest issue of Game Informer revealed some troubling news for consumers waiting for a lower-priced PlayStation 3. When asked point blank whether price drops for the PS3 will be "as soon or as drastic as they were for the PlayStation 2," Tretton responded with a curt, "No." For reference, the PS2 was reduced from $299 to $199 in the United States on May 14, 2002, 565 days after the Oct. 20, 2000 release date. Using this data and Tretton's above answer, we can expect that the PS3 won't come down in price until at least June 4, 2008. The reason for the shallower pricing curve? According to Tretton, the increased investment in R & D and hardware makes the system "a lot more difficult to cost reduce" than the PS2. "There's a heck of a lot more under the hood and it costs us more money to make it," Tretton told Game Informer. Despite this, Tretton doesn't seem to think the system's price will hurt its position in the marketplace. "I think the consumers that get their hands on a PlayStation 3 clearly see the value and not only want to buy one for $599, in some instances they're willing to pay ridiculous prices to buy one on eBay," Tretton said. If sales continue to remain slow & steady, do you think SCE will be forced to lower the price sooner than they've clearly planned? |
ehm?? is this going about wii or what? ps3 high prices on ebay? something new for me

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

It's only a lie if they knew at the time. The OP is in January. The first price cut was announced in May. So there clearly was time for Sony to honestly change their mind.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Drats, I was hoping Sony had allowed Tretton out of his cave to make an idiot of himself for our pleasure again but seeing the date that is clearly not the case.

That's because Sony didn't think the PS3 would sell so shit when they made this article.
