'We', mostly agree on the fact that Sony simply can't afford it..YET, untill next year.

cut wont happen because they are still losing money on each console. and they wouldnt win worldwide because the wii hasnt ceased to exist.

Neos I both agree and disagree. They cannot afford to because IMO Sony are still losing money on the PS3. But they need to do something to increase sales.

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


Sony hasn't just said that 'there won't be a price cut this year'. They used their financials to show why they cannot even afford one. They are pretty deep in the red still.

No company will advertise a price cut more than 1 week before it happens if they can help it.

They could still have one even if they are trying to cloud the waters now so that demand doesn't slow down.

Not saying that they will have one, but if they do then the PAL regions should be an easier decision since its nearest competitior is so much cheaper.

$50 Price cut - NO!
$100 Price cut - HELL NO!
Great Bundles - More than likely!

With a $100.00 price-cut in October the PS3 would easily eclipse 360 sales for the holiday season. Such a prospect is little more than wishful thinking though.

So not one person agree's with me?

Like 2 people say a 50$ price cut?

Sony does not need he price cut yet. Japan Sony will kill M$ this hoilday and so far in others (even after the recent price drop) sony is still beating M$. M$ and sony has been fighting for USA but with these price drops M$ will take this region. But sony will still sell more boxes in 2008 WW.

There will be no price drop for sony this year and sony will still come out on top

I second that. Please, God, Please.
