I think if they can at least keep up with M$ This xmas season, then cut the price March/April to 299, Then sales will Explode

I think that's the plan, but they'll still get outsold by the 360 by a good 2 milion units though

If you own a PS3, why would YOU need a price cut?



I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

even if the Ps3 has sold only 20 million....there would still have been a PS4

the brand is much stronger than what NES, SNES & N64 were....despite GC only getting 21 million in sales....there was still another nintendo console

 


That's my point exactly.  Even if sales continue at this relatively sluggish rate, we are guaranteed a PS4.  They will eventually start making money.  But if they drop the price in an effort to get sales and "beat" the XBox360, and they end up losing a ton of money, we WON'T be guaranteed a PS4.



I own a ps3 but I would like a price cut for the other gamers. I will buy a second one when the slim version is released and use one for gaming and one for movies ;)



i dont think sony will, price cut this year.

this temporary sales boost for 360 is only temporary as this weeks sales data shows, in na and jap. others sales for 360 should be down also.

you have to remeber ps3 did over 50k more units weekly many times than 360, so its not doom and gloom, its just xbox fanboys have begun to fart about because thier console has sold a little more in last few weeks



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

The GC made money still. I think what he is saying is that if they lower it to much they will lose to much money and they might get out of video games...

 



Former something....

PS3 hasn't even been out 2 years, there is plenty of time to lower the price - They need to stop losing money and the software + blu-ray should be able to carry it for the next year.



I think the question is if PS3 passes the 360 in all regions in weekly sales (which it was doing for a while) again in spite of the price cut (which people here seem to forget JUST HAPPENED), what else can MS do to raise interest? A $100 360?



March is the cut world wide



 

mM

the PS3 is the luxury console. Of course it costs more.

I don't see why people complain so much. in order to enjoy a HD console you need an HD Tv... that's going to run you $1,000 anyhow. So what's another $100 on top of 1,300 for a HD Gaming experience??

NOTHING.

I have no idea why anyone would want a Xbox360 or a PS3 without an HD TV.

I guess people who are doing this are just stupid.
