I predicted the 360 would outsell the PS3 by 3:1 starting in August (in NA only). I had no idea it would be starting in late May. Yikes. Again, the Wii stomps over everybody. Pretty typical.

Sony is between the proverbial rock and hard place right now.

yep even if they lower their price to $400 the 360 will lower their price to $250-300 making sony in a hurdle

Words of wisdom indeed. Sony needs to lower their price to move more units, but both of their major competitors are capable of doing the same at a moment's notice. The Xbox 360 is definitely ready for a price cut any moment now, and the Wii can shave off 50€ and still make money, or even 100€ if they really feel like it.
As much as I dislike making strong predictions so early, it really looks like the PS3 is done for. I just hope it either gets its act together soon, or dies out alltogether. There are so many great games coming for a system that might be discontinued within a year which I may never get to play.
The biggest problem with lowering prices by a big chunk is that it could hinder their main goal of reaching 5% profit margins for all Sony products. Their forecast for fiscal 07 was to only lose $500 million in the game division and to sell 11 million PS3s. I just don't see them reaching all those goals at once. Something has to break.

11 million PS3s is such a crazy forecast. If they manage to sell 5 million to end users it would be already a good number. $500 million huh? Last year the forecast had to be revised twice and Sony's game division ended up losing more than double the money from the original forecast. Any price cut that is less than $300 won't really affect PS3 sales for the better. And on topic: I believe that the Wii will pass the 360 in the USA this year. |
yup
Yeah, a small price cut will do absolutely nothing for the PS3. Look at the PSP price cut. As far as I can tell lowering the PSP price did nothing for sales.

No way. I think it will eventualy, contrary to popular belief, but not this year.
The Wii would have to do much better than it did until now, and the 360 could not have another holiday season like last year's for that to happen.
All evidence points to the Wii (at best) being supply constrained (and thus doing only better, not unbelievably "oh, my God!" better), and to the 360 having a good enough lineup to fend off the Wii in America for a little longer.
No hope for wordwide, though.
