I think they want the PS3 to sell more because PS3 games seem to sell more and at a higher cost in Others . Revenue is always nice.

That still wont change Sega's software sales....

Well Microsoft doesn't have this problem because there not afraid of spending a lot of $$$, and don't give me that bs that Microsoft has $60 Billion in reserves.

As you said- moar ps3s = moar sales= moar revenue.  MOAR!!

I don't think console manufacturers should listen to what SEGA has to say.

The funny thing about it is all these rumours of an iminant PS3 price cut only prolong its actual arrival. Everytime one of these stupid articles from Yahoo and CNN come up saying "PS3 price cut by June" blah blah blah, Sony has to delay the cut because sales all of a sudden decline due to people holding out on it.

The sooner we stop concentrating on the cut, the faster it can happen. Sony needs some people to bite the bullet, stop being so damn cheap, and buy the system for it being the great product it is. Hopefully Sony is actually a little below even, so by the time Christmas season is here they can cut it maybe about 50 bucks.

Also on Sony's part, if they want to push systems again they definitely need to bring back BC. That was a rather large selling point and many are holding out for a model with BC. Why they ever took it out in the first place(when it was software emulation) is beyond me. THAT was a rather good investment to put into the console.

LOL! low blow you two, very low......

I reckon that a true PS3 price cut won't happen this year, instead this is what I think may just happen:-

1. PS3 slim announced at Leipzig Game Convention/TGS and then shortly released at the same current price of $399
2. Current phat PS3 will have a $100 price cut till they are sold out then the only model available will be the slim PS3
3. make a price cut next year or leave it as an available option depending on how the slim sales go

think about it, a slim would boost sales for the holiday season while making profit, and the product although 3 years old at that stage would look knew to those not really in the know. Not only that but the PS3 slim would have been designed for profitability and as well as to break even if the price cut has to be done, phasing out the phat PS3 will finally stop the bleeding, of course some may see through this, but for them they be able to get a phat PS3 for 100 cheaper which of course is not a true price cut, just one to phase out the old models, but at the same time it will be perceived as a price cut by many as well.

In any case, this will leave sony with an ace up it's sleeve for next year, and that of course would be a true price cut.

lol ! that made me laugh XD
