And that is somehow different than Sony's typical behavior?

not a very good job :P

"We're DOOOMEED I TELL YA DOOOOOOOOOOOMMEED" it would have been very nice  XD

If it did, they wouldn't tell you.

Even Peter Moore could do better than this. Marching to their own rythmn?!

Oh someone seems scared.

I still think a £199 slim PS3 will do more than anything Microsoft tries to throw at it.

of course Microsoft will say this, it's not like we expected them to say "We are currently evaluating what value proposition our console brings when at the same price the competition clearly has more value since they have a blu-ray playback built in"

But they should be worried, it's not just the phat PS3 getting a price cut to $299, because if it was only that then they would be fair a little better, but they should be worried because it's a SLIM PS3, and this means they are refreshing the look of the PS3 to reinvigorate sales, and we've see in the past how well slim versions do, with the PSP slim and DS light all getting a boost in sales and an increased average sale once the boost averages out...not only this but the slimmer version also allows them save money on practically all aspects, from manufacturing to shipping, end result = profit.

Yeah that's Ms for you so brave of them. They will own this holiday increasing the gap to 10 million.

Unless your name is Nintendo.
