Forums - Sony - Believe it or not: Chubachi says no more price cuts planned

I don't understand why Sony PR can't reign in their executives. They should be saying something like:

"I can't comment of pricing directly, but we are always committed to providing our users with the best possible value."

Maybe the Execs are too arrogant to talk with PR.
I have been saying that for ages, Sony really needs to hire PR guys for their executives. Sony Executives might be good at managing business but they suck on the PR front. Just like with Reeves dude basically flaming his own company.

Didn't Sony's highest level guys say the same thing right before the last price cut?

I think these Execs just like to get people talking about what Sony will do next. They never have anything good to say otherwise. Reeves may be chilling with Kutaragi soon if he keeps up with the comments.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

That's funny, because back in June, Sony DID announce that they were gonna do a price drop before Christmas:

FT: How much lower can you afford to bring it down?

HS: That’s what we’re studying at the moment; that’s what we’re trying to refine. [...]

FT: Will you come up with an answer by Christmas?

HS: Yes, of course.

And then they lowered the price by $100 in 2 weeks.

 or ... maybe it's sprawling electronics giant that's got 100,000 employees and it's hard to coordinate them, on business decisions in just one division.  this is the kind of things we expect from big companies.

i mean, nintendo is basically iwata and miyamoto, and maybe reggie and that harrison guy.  that's 4 people.  in a company that does nothing but video games.  to be honest, that's pretty easy to get everybody up to speed.

 



the Wii is an epidemic.

That's horrible business! Now they're officially screwed...

Why would they be screwed? They are selling like they wanted to sell in the first place in NA, though  a price cut in japan isnt out of the question. Besides they arent going against the wii, they are competing against the 360. Then they'll deal with the wii with the ps2. Tehy never wanted to go against nintendo in the first place but they were rejected..

Funny that you took out my other link from the quote, which is from April and says something similar except without a specific timeframe...
