No. It would sell around ~$250. As the 40gb is around $350. Fishy that was a little steal trollish. The same reason kingofwale was banned. |
MSRP is ¥40,000 in Japan, which is pretty much the same as the US MSRP of $400 as the current X-rate is ¥101/$1. Next cut should be either ¥5000 or ¥10000. ¥20000 price cut isn't going to happen, but neither is a £100 price cut in the UK.
Why do people think the PS3 will get a second (third if you include the gap between 20GB cancellation and 40GB introduction) $100 price drop.
What do you think? That Sony hates money?

Because this happens to all consumer electronics.
$299 U.S. dollars for 80G bundled with Resistence 2 by November of this year? (2008)
I still wouldn't buy this piece of crap!

That would be awesome!
Do it Sony.
There are many like me just waiting for price to drop.

I think everyone knows FishyJoe is a troll by now. As long as he's not doing anything offensive or disrespectful, I'm fine with his trolling. I mean, he is a mod, and ioi loves this guy. There's not much that can be done about it.

i see a petition in the near future...
For comparison:
wait wait... I was hanging out with my gf all day. so I'm missing something, am I?
What the hell is going on? Was there a PS3 price drop?

IBM and Toshiba are still on track to move the Cell and RSX to 45nm mid-year, thus significantly improving yields, and IBM has also solved issues with the SPEs, thus improving yields of the Cell further still. They've also been having some good success marketing the Cell to the embedded market, meaning economies of scale drop faster. Add that to other falling component costs, especially the Blu-ray diodes, and Sony will have slashed a significant amount off of their per-unit production cost.
Meaning, they can cut the price by $100 at that point and still make money on every console sold in the US. Which, I believe, they will be more than happy to do... Microsoft's next drop will likely be another $50 drop, and once it's dropped $50, it won't move again for a bit. It's entirely likely Sony will use their significant cost reductions this year as an opportunity to attain price parity with the 360 in the US since they could do so without incurring financial losses as long as IBM and Toshiba stay on schedule with their respective development roadmaps.

The implication of this thread is that Sony will cut the price pre-holidays by $100. That simply will not happen. Sony has lost billions of dollars on the PS3 (and they are not Microsoft, they actually need to show they can profit on the PS3) and hasn't yet shown a single profitable quarter for the PS3. That may change when the last quarter's results come in, but its far from certain. |
Never say never. but to have a thread base on an assumption is kinda silly
