No PS3 price cut at E3

Rumors starting suggest this is the case

It seems that Sony may have already decided that they will not slash the price of the PlayStation 3 despite desperate pleas from multiple software developers. Our sources say that the decision has been made that Sony will wait till closer to the holiday season before another re-evaluation of a possible price cut while the company works on another revision of the console to reduce cost.

[Lfmesquite]

Until they do, 360 will keep winning the sales battle.

[cmrbe]

only. yes.

[madmonkey0]

perhaps sony are holding out untill they bring out a ps3 slim. i dont think that would be too far away and would give a huge buzz around the console. and it should have a lower price point and therefore increase sales.

[Cyrax_87]

...sales don't matter.

[The_Zeitgeist]

@-madmonkey0

That is some of the most ill informed logic ever. There will be no PS3 Slim for a few years. I'm sure of it. The price will go down eventually. Maybe around X-mas, maybe longer.

[anh_duong]

"The news will not sit well with many developers who have sunk a lot of money into the development of titles for the PS3 only to receive mediocre sales at best in most cases."

mediocre sales at best???!! the author is really taking the piss.

seriously how can you say that ps3 games sales are mediocre at BEST i.e. even the best sales are mediocre?

another fanboy monkey journalist making ends meet to pay for his peanuts.

[madmonkey0]

@The_Zeitgeist

maybe so. but it is possible

the psone came out 5 years after the launch of the original PSX. the ps2 slim came out 4 years after the ps2. the PSP slim came out after 2 years.

the ps3 is now 2.5 years old so i dont think it is that far fetched to see a PS3 slim in the next Year. im sure they have theability to do it if they wanted to.

[The_Zeitgeist]

None of those systems had a hard drive or blu-ray player or wireless internet out of the box. All those features take power and space. There will be no slim-line for at least another 3 years.

[Saigon]

and how is this creditable...seriously we rip hhg a new one everytime he post somthing and when an article that comes from a site that begins with FUD everyone beleives them...

price cut or no price cut...until it comes from Sony...this is FUD...reported...

[The_Zeitgeist]

Thats why it was filed under rumors. For you see there is a section for that kind of stuff. Some people just like to talk about this stuff. If you care so much then don't comment.

[Kill Crow]

Have been stating the 360 would get buried this year when the PS3 price drop comes in .... thatwas back in November/December ....

It's still not arrived ... You should have listened when Sony said from the start there would be no price drop ....

[Jinxstar]

Kill Crow

I am one of the biggest Sony Fanboys on this site.

I never said there would be. Matter of fact I think they have dropped it too low. I bought mine for 600 and glad I did(BC and all) but for what you get out of the box it is a hell of a deal. However people wont see that without advertisement and such. I do think Sony's advertisement campaign is pretty poor. Still though I don't care about prices of consoles and how many sell. Look at the list of games I'll be getting to play. GOW3, Uncharted 2, Heavy rain, Infamous, WKC, Ratchet CIT, Jaffe's unannounced game(Twisted metal most likely)... The list goes on from JRPG's to shooters to platform adventure games to a ton of other things that I will be getting to play... After Fable 2 and Gears 2 are announced for PC this E3 I will be fully cemented and justified in my 360 sale to upgrade my PC. However I may pick neither up... Maybe Fable 2 if I get really bored and it is in a bargain bin but really... yeah. So why do I care about sales? I still get all this exclusively on the PS3. Not exclusive for a while to 360 then it'll go to PC or PS3 or what not, maybe, kinda... And when it does it'll be the better version i.e. Bioshock, Ninja gaiden Sigma 2, Mass Effect(Hated this game anyway but it's still on PC), Gears of War etc...

Basically what I am asking is why does it matter/ The PS3 makes money for companies, Sony takes care of their companies, We get real exclusives and a great machine for a great price already. If others can't see that what do I care?

@below
I had a 360... I got rid of it. See my blog if you care to know why.

http://n4g.com/up/16238/blo...

I never played it... I bought a few games on it and yeah... I know many said the price was going to drop but I don't think that makes them "Fanboys" More likely people who want a PS3 but A. Can't justify to mommy and daddy why it's orth it over a 200$ 360 or B. Can't afford it in general followed by C. Fans. However why would someone who owns it already want the price to drop? i don't care a long with many others.

Also from what I remember they said there would be no price drop this "Fiscal" year. Why would they announce it early and lose potential sales? Why should they drop the price? so PS3 fans can rub it in 360 fans faces? I could care less really... I feel most PS3 fans could as well... I get amazing games and I just feel bad for those who are so devoted to the 360 that they will miss out on some amazing IP's...They will get plenty of good games like MW2 and Batman etc. but honestly the Sony exclusives just look to stomp everything except maybe MW2 but it's still coming to the PS3 anyway... That is my opinion and fanboys can argue all they want but it's true.

Really though this is an article from "Fudzilla"... never heard of it before... Who is their inside contact? Where do they get this from? It's just rumor. Hence why it's posted under "Rumors". If there is a price cut then good for those people. I for one don't want PSN to turn into a daycare like XBL is though. I like the high price point and all that... Keeps many of those cry babies out imo... Elitest or not it is how I feel. I had a 360. I hated playing online. PSN imo is just much better for a ton of reasons...

[Kill Crow]

There were loads of rumours which were constantly being denied by sony about a price drop early this year ... and many many fan boys took this as what would happen ....

What ever YOUR reasons, none of it really matters.

All consoles have something good to offer this gen. Having ALL models is where the party's at IMO .

[Christopher]

Let's look at some figures (All values in the millions)

GTA 4 (Rockstar)
PS3: 5.6
360: 7.0

Call of Duty 4 (Activision)
PS3: 4.3
360: 7.3

Assassin's Creed (Ubisoft)
PS3: 3.4
360: 4.5

Call of Duty: WaW (Activision)
PS3: 3.2
360: 5.4

Resident Evil 5 (Capcom)
PS3: 2.0
360: 1.8

So, let me get this straight. Sony's ability to increase sales by millions, even though most people who own both consoles will buy for the 360 due to online capabilities, is a bad thing for publishers? Selling 1 million boxes for a single console pays for the amount of money it took to work on that single platform of the game, anything thereafter is profit. Furthermore, profit margins for the PS3 are greater than the 360 due to higher royalty fees on the 360.

Please, tell me how they're not enjoying the extra profit off of the PS3?

[All-3]

What's to stop Nintendo or Microsoft from --> dropping <-- the price on their consoles as well?

[dj55555555]

This is the current total console sales from VG chartz

XBOX 360: 30,210,000 been on sale for 42 months giving it a monthly average of 719'285

PS3: 22,120,000 been on sale for 30 months giving it a monthly average of 737'333

As you can see the PS3 has sold more than the 360 in the same time period and with it costing twice the amount. THE ONLY REASON THE 360 IS AHEAD IS BECAUSE ITS BEEN OUT A YEAR LONGER!!!!!

[silvacrest]

for nintendo, they would probably get a sales spike for a while and since the wii isnt that much different to a gamecube i doubt it cost much to build a wii

microsoft on the other hand already have the cheapest next gen consoles
how much profit would they gain from another price cut?

[Kill Crow]

At the point the PS3 launched it was pretty much accepted the xbox had a lead of around 7 million consoles. Roughly half was through 2008 Sony managed to get that lead down to about 5.5 million ....
But over the last 7 months the Xbox has managed to move that lead back to around 8 million consoles , which means, PS3 has NOT sold MORE consoles over the same period of time ...If it were selling MORE over the same perdion of time the total difference would have to be less than 7 million ....

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Why would a third party care if they publish multi-platform? Problem solved.

[dj55555555]

I didn't know that 719'285 was a bigger number than 737'333 the fact is AVERAGE monthly sales of the PS3 are better than the 360

[Saigon]

His source is the THQ investor meeting where the CEO stated his claim on what they think Sony will do at E3...the author has been busted...

[edhe]

Europe too.

[Daoshai]

That's not a good way to look at average sales... I'll tell you why.
When a product comes out there is an initial boost (same with games), that big boost will tamper off with time. So because the 360 has been out longer the avg is dropping from the first boost, sony with less months out are still receiving a larger benefit from the debut.

To do an accurate avg sales per time, companies minus 3-6 months off the debut (depending on the company) and start 0 from that point. It's a much better reading of so called "legs" a product has.

@Below:
To see the true value of the price cut yes, you would. Though the time is much smaller for a cut in price, I know we use (kodak) 3 weeks as the guideline for price cut, keep in mind its still a product that been out for awhile

[dj55555555]

So will i have to take off sales boosts the 360 recived from price drops and buying exclusive DLC?

[Lifendz]

are people that already own PS3s. If you own a 360 and you got it at launch, then you shouldn't really complain about paying launch price for a 360 but with a bigger HDD and so much more functionality. I'm glad Sony's not caving in to the pressure.

And if you really want a PS3 but the 100 bucks is make or break then you should pay attention to Gamestop and other sites like Dell. You can find a PS3 for 299.99 on those sites quite frequently.

[Yipee Bog]

matter of fact, i'll be kind of mad if they do drop the price considering i paid $599 for mine

[caffman]

pardon me a sec
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

[SnuggleBandit]

who gives a flying F*ck about SALES...and who gives a SH*T about anything to do with a console you don't have. I honestly don't know what fanboys see in arguing back and forth there is no point just enjoy what you have!

[lloyd_wonder]

True, but Sony has the last say at e3

[cryymoar]

i believe they are making somewhat of a profit on their PS3, and of course are making profits from the PS2 and PSP.
They may just see what the competition does, and might have a price cut announcement just in case they need to steal some more of the show. But as of right now, Sony is expected to BE the show :)

[MUNKYPOO]

i think this will be a smart move by sony

[heosphuros]

We need a price cut!

[Rmagnus]

We??? What will a price cut do for me? I already own a 60gig... Why would i want to buy another one?

[heosphuros]

OK We owners may not need a price cut. but people that cant afford it yet need a price cut. and i think it would be good even for people who already have the console, as it should increase the install base and increase third party support.

[The_Zeitgeist]

@-Rmagnus

So you can say you have two. You know just to rub it in to all those people that don't even have one. It is the American way.

[cmrbe]

about a price cut is of no use. Sony could drop it tomrrow or never. Its depends on what Sony sees as prudent for the time being. People shouldn't waste their time on these rumors.

[edhe]

TBH it's what publishers and developers want.

If sony don't accomodate them then the games will always be ports and less invested.

[The_Zeitgeist]

It's been a little over a year since I bought my baby (my ps3) I caress her every night. Turning her on ever so gently with the touch of my fingers. Ah yes....Life is now complete.

[AKNAA]

whoa there! Take it easy Romeo, Lol!

[user9422077]

Lucky for most of us gamers, we have a PS3!

[madmonkey0]

Got mine, still believe a price cut is in all gamers best interest.

[The_Zeitgeist]

I'll agree with you on that.

[artgamer]

PS3 doesnt need it, but if it happens, count the competition out.

[ceedubya9]

And it didn't happen. The competition is still here.

[Shaka2K6]

.

[Omega4]

Seems like the 360 will be outselling the PS3 again this year

But when you think about it the PS3 launched at $599 and is now $399 thats already $200 lower, while the 360 launched at $399 and is now $299 thats just $100 lower. If anything the 360 should be getting a price cut not the PS3.

[The_Zeitgeist]

LOL

[Peppy la Moca]

the XBOX 360 was the cheapest console on the market at $199 with the Wii at $250 and the PS3 at $400. I got my elite for $300 though...but then again I got my 80gb PS3 for $335

[Omega4]

@ The_Zeitgeist
Whats so funny?

@ Peppy la Moca
Im just referring to the normal 360 (or Pro) not the arcade, elite, or core models cause they all launched at different prices anyway.

[The_Zeitgeist]

Your comment was funny. Well the end was. The 360 will not see another price cut for a while. MS needs to make some money off of hardware sales.

[cmrbe]

you must be a 4 year old with that kind of logic.

The x360 is the cheapest on the market. Why should the x360 get a price cut more so than the most expensive PS3?. Because the PS3 already had a 200 price cut but still the MOST EXPENSIVE on the market?.

I am amazed you are able to get on the internet.

[cmrbe]

lol!. What is wrong with stating my opinion that he must be a 4 year old with that kind of logic?.

Anyone with half a brain knows that his logic is completely stupid. What else i am suppose to say?. Yeah the correct logic to cut the price further when you are the cheapest on the market? Sheesh. Get a grip.

Edit:Whatever floats your boat man. I not going to waste my time explaining anything to you.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

It's unfortunate that some people just cannot speak their opinion without some sort of vulgar or childish wording. The amount of bubbles that you have just cements the fact that this site is run by rabid sony fans with multiple accounts. This site is silly.

Edit: You don't need to explain nothing to me. I know your type. Your just like almost everybody on the internet that cannot express their feelings without a verbal attack. Forums are full of people like you. That is the sole reason why sites and forums have mods.

[AssassinHD]

+Bubbles for Halo MLG Pro. He is absolutely right. People need to focus on providing valid counterpoints without making personal attacks. Sure I disagree with pretty much everything that Omega4 posts, or at least I disagree with the manner in which he expresses his opinions, but there is no need to resort to personal attacks.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

...ChatBots live another day!!! ;-D

[ottoenie]

like i care, i already have one, ps3 owners don't care about a price cut, that's pretty obvious.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

I think Sony should concentrate on making money and not winning some console war that only juvenile fanboys care about. Sony doesn't need to catch up to Microsoft and I'm sure they don't even care about it. Sony definitely cannot afford a price cut so I don't expect one for awhile. Being third place in the console battle isn't the end of the world.

[labaronx]

Im sure Sony's actual "Stockholders" have a bit more say in the matter than whining gamers.

However....

Sony could still release a different model at a new price keeping the 80 gb and 160 gb at the same price.

[table]

It is thought that Sony were breaking even about 6months ago so I reckon that they are making a small profit and can afford a price cut now, but they know it is foolish to price cut too soon.Sony ARE concentrating on making money as are its competitors. They do care about market share but this usually fixes itself when you start making big profits.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Actually Sony said themselves that they are working hard to break even on the ps3 by the middle of 2009. It would be wise for Sony to make a profit on the ps3 after they finally break even. They already lost the market share dominance of last gen and they're not going to get it back. They should concentrate on profiting now.

Here's your link mr. disagree.

http://www.sonyinsider.com/...

[TheMART]

Just what I expected. No pricecut before October/November this year.

[cryymoar]

And without good games, why would someone want to buy an xb360?
People will witness the PS3 coming out with AAA game after AAA game after AAA game and will buy a PS3.
The xbox360 honestly doesn't have SH*T for 2009!
And 2010 probably won't compare either since Sony's games keep getting technically and graphically better and better, the PSN keeps getting better and better, and the AAA list keeps growing and growing.

[Droid Smasha]

they should just increase the hdd size to 160gb and include a exclusive 1st party game and sell it for $499. they would catch up in sales then

wait wut?

[Arnon]

And nobody gives a crap. Because even with these "awesome games", nobody BUYS THEM ROFL.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

MS will probably follow with a price drop of thier own. Nothing will change and the PS3 will stay 3rd for another 3-5 years according to Sony.

[BIGBOSS08]

unless they cut the price to $50 then it wont have any impact at all. anyone who wants a 360 is going to buy one. no ones waiting for a price cut for it.

[Arnon]

From what we've heard around the net, the majority of 360 sales comes from the Pro. Meaning? That's a $299.99 price point and that's still expensive in this economy. If they lowered it by $49.99... I guarantee you it would destroy.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

What no price cut for the PS3? Oh well... you droids still have text chat. Hey! I heard LastPlace-R-US is having a sale on bronze medals and last place ribbons. Poor Playstation, the fallen king turned court jester.

[OmarJA]

& how the price cut is going to benefit us PS3 owners Mr.bot ? :D

Wow your stupidity never cease to amaze me... :D

Poor bots they're best looking game is a multiplatform & probably coming next year. :D

[cryymoar]

xb360 is the slowest selling console this generation.

But sadly, you xbots turn to sales because you have nothing left to cling on to!
grow the f**k up.
AAA-R-US is also giving Sony a prize for the best games of 2008 and 2009.

[Fleet Fox]

"Poor Playstation, the fallen king turned court jester."

LOL The Droids loved that one

[Man_of_the_year]

LOL that was funny i have to admit.

@ apena89

The 360 has been outselling the PS3 since the beginning of this year...what do you mean "xb360 is the slowest selling console this generation.' 8 - 9 MILLION console lead over the PS3...larger install base. Again what exactly do you mean?

[cryymoar]

who sold more in 2 years?
that's right.
FASTER SELLING CONSOLE!
PS3 REACHED ITS CURRENT SALES FIGURE FASTER THAN THE XB360 REACHED THE SAME NUMBER!
Are you retarded?

[360isthebestps3sucks]

poor sonyfanboys....

[Man_of_the_year]

i had a feeling that you were referring to that...but remember that Sony has an install base of about 100 million PS2 out there.

Sony is also in 3rd still. The lead is EXPANDING between the PS3 and the 360. So regardless of how long it took the PS3 to reach the same amount of consoles sold in a smaller amount of time, it doesn't change the FACT that PS3 is in 3rd with the 360 increasing the gap and install base.

Your point is MUTE...do you understand? Or are you RETARDED?

[Arnon]

Lol some kid just told someone to "grow the f**k up" when he's the one crying.

Ahahaha

[forcefullpower]

Our Sources. Jesus here we go again. A mate of a mate of mate that has a source says that sony in not dropping the price.

You all should know by now that Sony publicly says themselves if the rumours are true or not.

[Mr Face Creamer]

You Sony fans might "not care about sales", but developers and publishers sure do... GG made KZ2 to earn a $h1t load of money, sales were decent for the game and most of you outhere said "its about the quality, not the sales". That's the case with you, but if you want to see more exclusives for the PS3 in the future, there might as well be a price cut for those interested in purchasing a PS3.

[-MoOkS-]

Looks like last place is officailly ps3s home for the generation now.

[Sez]

are you really surprised. i mean sonyfanboy should be use to being in last this gen. no one really care about the ps3. thats why every month ps3 sales keep declining.

[cryymoar]

Yeah that's why the PS3 is beating the Wii in Japan.
And who knows what other beatings the PS3 is doing in Europe.

[Sez]

whoopy doo. the PS3 is beating the wii and 360 in japan. lol. thats the only place they are beating other consoles. i mean since the price drop last year. the ps3 has been getting out sold every where else. and next week the NPD reports get released. watch all the biotching and moaning from your fellow sonyfanboys.

[AznSniper]

If anything, Sony will probably introduce a cheaper new SKU. So that would not really be called a price cut from Sony executives.

[PirateThom]

Of course there's no "price cut at E3", because they aren't going to say there's one until E3.

[BIGBOSS08]

true. a price cut wont be leaked 2 months before it happens. if there was gonna be price cut we would probably find out about a week before.

[Droid Smasha]

sony CANT cut the price right now. get used to 3rd place cause you gonna be there for awhile.

need a Snickers?

[Sez]

LMfAO. bubbles for you. that made my day

[cryymoar]

get used to multiplatforms.
because that's all you're gona have for a while.

[Sez]

i guess get use to playing by yourself. because you will be the only @zzhole buying ps3 exclusives. LMFAO

[cryymoar]

yeah cuz im the only one who bought Killzone 2, MGS4, LBP, or Resistance 1 & 2

[Etseix]

hell no, i buy good games, not shi* games that i dont play i bought gears when i had an xbox done, only that game,
my ps3 have R1, R2: RE, LBP, Dead Space, MGS4, KZ2, FIFA09, AND WARHAWK

*because you will be the only @zzhole buying ps3 exclusives. LMFAO *

and u will be the only @zzhole buying 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.. xbox360, o wait no ur not, because 9 from every 10 persons that buys an xbox get RROD or E74 D:
8 million sales away from ps3? 8/2 =4 millions LMAO! or what about the people that already is the 4 or 5 time they return the console to the shop? 8/4 = 2millions ! D; OMG!!!, sales are declining right? no! this cant be!!! ,sales is all we have right xbots???...right??

PLAY *GAMES* NOT *SALES* , geez, i hope sony put this instead *PLAY B3YOND*........ na this would hurt some *people*'s feelings LMAO

[ranma6899]

there not xbox360 with 3 consoles ps3 40gig was canceled all they got is 80gb so why drop the price on the only unit they got

[ceedubya9]

The 160 GB Uncharted bundle. May only be a limited edition though. I saw a few at my local Best Buy. Of course, that's here in VA. I have no idea about the rest of the world.

[Stryfeno2]

Droids are more than happy to buy overpriced crap...Why would Sony drop the price?

[FFXI101]

Right, just like you dumb@ss keep give away your money to M$, even though most of you are already on your second or third 360s(and possibly 7 or 8 headsets).

But why should M$ care, cause they know you guys will keep paying them no matter what kinda of crap they make.

As least PS3 owners has a better quality system with more features than 360 and more first party games, and we are very happy about it. What do you got? A piece of crap.

[Arnon]

Waaahhh..

[dj55555555]

This is the current total console sales from VG chartz

XBOX 360: 30,210,000 been on sale for 42 months giving it a monthly average of 719'285

PS3: 22,120,000 been on sale for 30 months giving it a monthly average of 737'333

As you can see the PS3 has sold more than the 360 in the same time period and with it costing twice the amount. THE ONLY REASON THE 360 IS AHEAD IS BECAUSE ITS BEEN OUT A YEAR LONGER!!!!!

[kaveti6616]

As I write this I have a take home final from my PAS204 logic class, and I can say with some certainty that you are 100 percent invalid in your reasoning. It's called appeal to consequences of belief, among other things. You think that if PS3 had been released at the same time it would be beating the 360 in sales. However, one cannot make that assertion with any validity because there is no statistical data to support an event which did not occur.

I'm pretty sure the only reason why MS rushed the release of the 360 was to give it the lead, and I can say that with some sense of validity because it did happen. However, who's to say that MS would not have done things differently if the PS3 was released at the same time? All that matters to the people who give a damn about sales (I don't) is that the 360 has a lead over the PS3 and is continuing to sell more per month. So, yeah, you may be right, but no, it doesn't make a difference what you say.

[ultimolu]

Sony will make the announcement when they're ready.

[NickyFinn]

sales blah blah blah blah blah blah my consoles better tehn ura blah blah blah blah shut the feck up and enjoy what ever console u got instead of b!tchin on the internetz

[mac4u10]

You could buy one for mad cheap of ebay £210

[BIGBOSS08]

ok what im about to say is FACT!!

nobody APART from sony know when the price is going to be cut, which means none of the bull$hit articles know what they are talking about! just the other day i read there was going to be a price cut in june and now we read no price cuts at all this year! nobody really knows! there could be price cut tomorrow, next week, next months or fooking no more price cuts at all and the ps3 will stay this price forever!!!! just fcking wait and see people. just let sony do their magic. if they dont cut the price then it obviously means they donmt think its needed.

[spartan400]

i personally don't think there will be a ps3 slim till the next xbox7redrings comes out and it will have a sweet price point at about 200-250$.. I wont be much less advanced then the new xbox. It will probable sell like the wii is now.

[erathaol]

He should of dropped some names of the Developers who would like to see a PS3 price cut. It would of made for a better read, instead of him just saying, "Developers" over and over again. Giving a source a face does wonders for credibility.

[cardgenius]

Price cut wont come untill the 45nm CELL comes out. Because with that new chip also comes a 40% drop in power consumption that will let them build a smaller power supply. With both of those they would save enough money to be able to cut price. But even when the new chip comes, I dont see them dropping price for at least a few months after that cause they would want to actually make money. Just wait, once all that happens well see price drop and a bundle with GT5.

[tonywood24]

Personally, I wish there was some type of price decussion for the Playstation fans, who don't have the funds to pay for both a $399 system and $60 games.

I bought my PS3 on day one....and I'M A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER. I would welcome a price reduction for others, who crave the BEST GAMING AND MULTI MEDIA PLATFORM ON THE PLANET!! Of course the XI and Wii are great machines, delivering great titles...but Sony is better. Hey, sometimes you have to quality!

[JJFNIGHTS80]

I just wish you fanboys or any other journalist stop saying their's going to be a PS3 price drop, for the last time SONY WILL NOT DROP THE PRICE UNTIL THEIR READY.

[rjackson1]

WOW!

[cruncher_20]

I'm sick to heard about "developers who have sunk a lot of money into the development of titles for the PS3 only to receive mediocre sales at best in most cases"

According to VGchartz, if you compare titles available on Xbox and PS3, sales are higher (not for all game) on Xbox but there are no reasons to panic considering the difference between the number of console sold...

Fallout 3 (2,4 vs 1,3 million)
GTA (7 millions vs 5,6 millions)
Guitar Hero world tour (1,9 vs 1,2)
Prince of persia (0,74 vs 0,76)
Resident evil 5 (1,8 vs 1,96)

Sure if you compare HALO vs Killzone 2 (9 vs 1,5 millions) this is terrible but it's though to compare 2 different games with different release date. 3.9 million for Metal Gear is pretty good... And the game is so good that we can expect that the game will continu to get up in chart when people will buy Ps3...

Check for GoW 3 to see the real potential of Ps3 sales

why should I care when the ps3 has the best exclusives this year? what does the 360 have? Ninja flop and Flop Assassin.

When the bots only talk sales and not game, you know that the 360 really have no quality games this year.

WOW!

Why cut it now when people are getting taxes and stimulus money from the IRS.

PS3 doesn't need a price drop.

If you freakin can't afford $400 you shouldn't be gaming in the first place.

Use credit and pay over time if you have to, I mean people do the same thing when they have to buy all the things on the 360 that the PS3 comes with in every model, Online gaming being one of them.

...Well actually now that I think about it, yeah...the PS3 is freakin expensive cause there are so many games to buy for it.

true, $400 really isn't extremely expensive. It's not like people have to go and drop the $400 at once on payday. Save up some cash, that's what i did and it didn't set me back any. Plus with built in wifi and free internet it's a actually a good deal.

i've had my ps3 for less than year and i have 21 games. 10 of them exclusives.

the ps3 is a solid system, anyone who says otherwise is still stuck in 2006. Also, anyone who doesn't have a ps3 is missing out on some solid games. Same goes for the 360 too, but i refuse to buy one because of rrod and e74. It's a shame the hardware is faulty cause there are a few games i'd love to get my hands on.
