Sony CFO: No Plan to Cut Price Of Playstation 3 Game Console

By SE YOUNG LEE

SINGAPORE -- Sony Corp. Chief Financial Officer Nobuyuki Oneda said Friday the company has no plan to reduce the price of its Playstation 3 game console.

"Our strategy is not to sell more quantity for PS3 but to concentrate on profitability," Oneda told investors at a Nomura Asia Equity forum in Singapore. "Our plan is not to reduce the price."

The comments came as rival Microsoft Corp. plans to cut the price on a popular model of its Xbox 360 game console as early as Sunday in an effort to boost sales.

Not really anything new, just restating what they said in their earnings announcement for FY Q4 07. This needs to be taken into account when predicting PS3 sales for this year.

yey im on crack i need my fix,

but serious though, the data clearly indicates that the ps3 will sell about 3 mill in December in others alone

 

Actually all the data indicates is that if you can screw around with numbers you can make them say anything. That was one of the most pathetic statistical analysis' I have ever seen. For one thing you ignore all confounding variables entirely, you ignore factors such as supply, cost and target markets for example which have a huge effect on console sales. Not only that but you also take only one sample to base this on, one sample is utterly ridiculous.

You can claim that the PS3 will sell more than 3M in others in Dec 2008 but you honestly can't seriously claim that the data you are showing supports it.

 

Perhaps if you took samples of data from multiple consoles showing the relationship between first year sales until July and their corresponding holiday sales. If you found there was a significant correlation between the two then perhaps you could use that data to make an estimate of PS3 sales, then perhaps I would take you seriously.
