Nikko Citigroup upgraded its rating on Sony this morning in anticipation of it breaking even on PS3 costs earlier than expected. At the moment, Sony sells the PS3 at a loss. The respected group of analysts is now earmarking August as the milestone month. Sony's CFO recently suggested that the move would occur in the second half of year -- a date analysts then pegged at November. No details behind the new upbeat expectations were provided by Nikko CG. However, it's safe to assume that the PS3's break-even event will be realized by a switch to a sub-65nm cell processor, sub-90nm RSX graphics chip, or both, since the smaller chips are less-costly to manufacturer.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.

TimeShift had a fairly muted launch in 2007, and while it doesn't rewrite the FPS rulebook it does offer an enjoyable campaign even now.
Never heard of this game until someone mentioned it here last year. Played it and it basically represents most games from the PS3/Xbox360 era—good graphics, amazing physics, and extremely fun gameplay (time powers rock), but barely any story, weird pacing, and at least one annoying AF level. I finished Prototype last week and the same applies, except Strike Teams. Fuck Strike Teams.
I miss when ganes used to experiment with physics and world interaction
All signs point to price-cut.
I'm thinking the 299-349 range for the holidays.
Perfect for the Ps3,I am!
Ummm didn't they announce the cost of making a PS3 had dropped from $800 to $400 about 3 or 4 months ago? They said it had halved I remember distinctly.
I believe Sony could cut price any time they want and I think they should do it on the 28th of April, giving M$ just one day to panic and follow suit less the console war be decided in the next 10 weeks.
The PS3 shouldn't cost what it does to begin with... The numbers of consoles being sold now only tell me (note: I said ME, meaning it's not a fact, just MY opinion) that it would outsell the 360 if they had the same price.
yeh...I heard that as well...and also they sold a cell making factory to toshiba...so this article could probably be a little misinformed...
Edit: been looking on the internet, and found this to be true...sony could be moving to even smaller chips, as in below 65, and that could mean the ps3 being even cheaper...I reckon this is around LBP time, to get in the families, leading up to chrismas...it might just be the must have item for chrismas...
