surely thats why they will wait for the holidays

Looking at xbox 360 sales now compared to the holidays tells me, it will have an important effect then

Nobody's gonna go & buy a Ps3 for $399 in june......no-one

 

Well, not 'no-one,' but it's not realistic to expect PS3 price-cut before August - September, if it happens at all.

The Wii sales should be up next month thanks to Wii Sports Resort. The PS3 sales comparison to June 2008 aren't gonna be pretty.

Sony will probably cut the price pretty soon anyway (if they intend to reach - or come close to - the 13 million target).

 

The summer is not a good month for price cutting: when Sony reduced their 60 Giger to $500 two years ago they still sold under 360 for the month and when the 360 reduced their 20 giger by $50 last year they still got pwned by the PS3. Late September / early October is probably when they will do it.

no the PS3 target is realistic if the PS3 Slim is true

PSP target is completely unrealistic, & that was set in stone the moment they announced PSP GO! would be for $250

That makes sense, that's why I said "if they intend to reach 13 million". Whether or not Sony actually means to reach their targets is left to each reader's discretion :P

No, that was set in stone when they decided not to drop the price of the regular PSP-3000 model.

Did you read this thread?

If the PS3 slim / price cut come in the holidays then PS3 sales will have to increase by a huge amount from last year... I haven't calculated but maybe 60-80%.
