I disagree I think the whole 'temporary price cut' news is actually gonna drive the 60 gb sales because people are thinking it's a temporary deal and will eat it up more than the new 80 gb pack.

Eitherway I expect PS3 sales to increase very well starting this week and further in August because of the pack in game which a lot of consumers want when they buy a console.

I think you are totally overestimating the demand for the PS3, we've seen this time and time again. PS3 sold about 750k in 2006 in north america, and it has sold about 830k in 2007, now there is easily over a million 60 gigs waiting to be sold. Couple that with the fact that the 80 gig will also be sitting on the shelf next to it, and I don't think the 60 gig is gonna be gone this year.

well it is hard to now, and PS3 is still the most expensive console and possess right now less good game than the Xbox360.
but
-PS3 game are coming,
-they succeed to make a not bad E3 starting to show game graphically better than Xbox360 (extremely important for a console that is suppose to be the best when it matters about graphism)
-they have exclusive game for PS3 + BRay,
-Xbox360 doesn't have ruled out there "unstable console" probleme even with the 3 years warranty (peter moore himself stated that the every 11.6M console shiped possess the same construction default that bring the Ringdeath problem)
-Phil Harrison just claimed that they have a secret deal with Rockstar so espect some news for GTA4 (gametrailer).

I think sony can do something.
But I hope sony will understand than their main demand is on Europe where people are desesperatly waiting for price drop.
In another hand, since european people allready buy good numbers of PS3 (compared to Xbox360) there is no reason to make a price drop that costs lot of money to Sony

Great interview, the guy was frank and honest. I now have quite a lot more respect for Sony than I did before I read this, apparently they dont only employ arrogant imbeciles as I had suspected before this.

Now SCEA needs to hire somebody like this to manage their marketing so they can stop putting their feet in their mouths.

Playing the defense doesn't mean there is anything there to justify your point, it just paints a picture of someone making desperate excuses for Sony. Sony deserves every little bit of bad press they're getting and its not just the Nintendo fanboys giving it to them either, the actual media itself is eating up the story. Don't play this, "to each his own but you guys won't let it be that way" angle, if Nintendo was in the hot seat the roles would be reversed and I doubt I'd see you advocating "positive" perspectives on their debacle, and when Microsoft gets into shit like this, no one really seems to care. The reason many are not giving Sony and "positive" spins on thier current situation is because they give us no reason to, and anyone not a Sony Fanboy can clearly see a desperate scramble to salvage their market and the fumble of dropping the price, but not really dropping the price, then negating any possible price drop with a new system that will cost just as much as the old one. I can sympathize with your frustration of seeing thread after thread like this, but its going to be talked about no matter what.
