The Wii might get a price cut by the end of the year, with sales dipping in Japan.


However, the PS3 will get a price cut by the end of the year because they still don't really have sales that can dip.

Why should I pay that price though for a system that just spews out arcade games and rarely an actual game with substance? Because the Wiimote is apparently revolutionary? I don't think so.

But he does have a point, they don't need to lower the price, there are still tons of people buying it, they could raise the price and it would still sell like hot cakes.

Michael Pachter said that there should be one this month, but that doesn't look like it'll happen.  If Sony were going to annnounce a price drop, I think they'd do it at this year's E3.

If, if there is going to be a price cut, I would say after E3. Announced at E3 and then after that. But I am skeptical regarding this price cut that people keep rumoring. Sony still needs to make money on the actual console and by cutting their price they are going to have a much higher time doing that. Perhaps they could afford to drop it by 50 but to have any price cut actually be an effective price cut, its got to drop at least 100.

Add more USB ports, PS2 compatibility, and a 60gb HDD, and keep the price the same.

You don't want to wait for a price reduction...you want to pay full price for a Playstation 3...you don't need backwards compatibility..."next gen" begins when Sony says it begins...Obey...Conform...Consume....

They can't lower the price when the PS3 already costs twice as much to make as the price they are charging for it in stores.

Considering I paid $400 for a Wii and $400 for a 360, then as much as I would like a PS3 added to my collection, that isn't going to happen until it drops to $400, my entry point.  Considering that it currently costs $700, that isn't going to happen this year and probably next.  


Sorry Sony, but it is up to you.

Australian dollars.  $400 is about $285 US and the PS3 at $700 is about $505 US.
