Forums - Sales - Gamestop urges sony cut the ps3's price

n an interview with CNBC, GameStop CEO Dan DeMatteo said that he'd like to see a price cut for the PlayStation 3 in order to stimulate sales at retail. DeMatteo also spoke poorly about the recent price cut for the PlayStation 2, saying that the $50 price drop came a year too late.

"That price point is clearly an issue in this economy," DeMatteo said, suggesting that the $399 price point for PS3 needs to come down, although many believe that Sony will make an announcement before this year's E3.

When talking about the PS2, he said: "I don't know that USD 50 gets you that much. To be honest, it really wasn't worth doing. If they'd done it earlier, publishers probably would have kept making games for the PS2, but once they've stopped, they've stopped."

How much would you like to see the PS3's price drop by?

As long as gamestop gets to sell more PS3 and games, they dont care, they're making money.



The Gamestop in my town actually likes the PS3's price. They sell a healthy amount of PS3's and then when people are checking out most of the games that they are buying are used. The manager there says that people are more prone to look towards the used section when buying the PS3 as opposed to the other systems.
