Forums - Sony - PS3 Pricecut Unlikely - Sony to Concentrate on Profitability

NJ5 on 15 May 2008

Well it's about time, unless they want the gaming division to become a weight on Sony's back until the next generation starts.

Sony confirmed by the end of the year $299.99 Blu-ray players. That being said, that means the PS3 will get a price cut by the end of the year. Basically this means they are waiting on the 45nm CELL and 65nm RSX.

i think that sony should release 20gb SKU it should be cheaper to produce and would be enough for everybody.


Actually 20gb HDD cost even more to produce than 40gb HDD which is one reason why they replaced 20gb SKU with 40gb SKU.

Was that before or after Toshiba called it quits with the HD-DVD?

wii is still competing with ps3/x360 there is huge amount of core games coming to wii in 2008. i don't get it only ps360 fanboys are still trying to tell us that wii is not competing with ps360 because nintendo console have wider library of games with many casual titles in it. but ps2 and psx was same as wii and later when it was clear that psx/ps2 will win generation developers started to make huge amount of core exclusives for winning consoles(same situation is with wii now), but hey i can pretend that psx and ps2 weren't competing with n64 and gc/xbox too.

Such as?


madworld, monster lab, tales of symphonia, disaster, fragile, monster hunter 3, skate it, shiren the wanderer, final fantasy crystal chronicles: crystal bearers, fatal frame 4, conduit, red steel 2, deadly creatures. plus some multiplatform games like alone in the dark and tomb raider underworld and ports like rygar or rogue trooper.

lit, animales de la muerte and last flight for wiiware.

The majority of those games are either big question marks or probably not going to make it out of Japan in 2008. Either way, the core titles that the 360/PS3 is offering this year really makes the Wii's "core" list look small and irrelevent. Core gamers want big AAA titles with alot of credibility behind the developers, it really wouldn't make sense to just name a bunch of games that are not rated E and have violence/ weapons and assume it hardcore gamers will flock to it. In this case, there are plently of hardcore games on the 360/PS3 that sucks, such as Gundam crossfire, bulletwitch, turning point, defjam, vampire rain,etc.

 Wouldn't more recent news in light of newly released infomation override this previous statement?

1. The majority of those games are either big question marks or probably not going to make it out of Japan in 2008. Either way, the core titles that the 360/PS3 is offering this year really makes the Wii's "core" list look small and irrelevent. 2. Core gamers want big AAA titles with alot of credibility behind the developers, it really wouldn't make sense to just name a bunch of games that are not rated E and have violence/ weapons and assume it hardcore gamers will flock to it.3. In this case, there are plently of hardcore games on the 360/PS3 that sucks, such as Gundam crossfire, bulletwitch, turning point, defjam, vampire rain,etc.


 1. Any evidence?  Or just your opinion?

2. So, Capcom, Square Enix, Konami, Tecmo, Ubisoft, Crystal Dynamics, InfoGrames, Monolith, EA, Namco, Chunsoft, THQ, and High Voltage (the developers of those listed games) are all non-credible developers?  Well, I guess the PS3 is pretty much fucked, then... unless you mean to say that they're 'incredible'

3. The only point I see here is that people will buy quality games and leave shitty ones out.  Do we disagree on this or something?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
