Stop Yelling At Sony To Cut The Price Of The PS3

PSXextreme: See that dude in the picture? ..I'm probably younger, that's me every time I read another ridiculous, 'if Sony doesn't drop the price of the PS3, it's over' article. Really. I'm bored..

Therefore, in about two years time, with the most expensive console on the market, even in a freakin' recession, the PS3 has somehow managed to - shock of shocks - not die. In fact, it has only managed to close the gap, which it will likely continue to do.."

I already own a PS3 so I don’t care about a Sony price cut. However I’m considering buying an Xbox360, but they are simply too expensive. I’m only interested in one game, Mass effect 2…. So pretty please MS drop the price of your Xbox. Your killing me here.

I suggest waiting for next year when they release their Natal SKU. You won't be hearing about it since the American media are pretty much keeping it hush hush from the public so 360 sales won't get affected til then.

360 price has been lowered like twice since its release...

[Cmen]

you want MS to drop the price of the 360 lol it's 199 with the hard drive....meanwhile the ps3 is 399

[jmare]

No it's $199 without the harddrive. Nice try though.

[-MD-]

It's actually 199 and then you can call Microsoft and order an HDD for an additional 19.99$

[jmare]

Proof? Otherwise, why would anybody pay how ever much ($120? $150?) for a HDD? Also, I am still correct $199 + $19.99 != $199. So you can not get a 360 with a HDD for $199.

I own a PS3 so price cut wouldn't affect me. Still, I feel if there's no price cut, PS3's install base will hardly get even with Xbox360's. Lesser install base, lesser support from third party developers. That's the deal...so I would quite politely ask for a price cut that's getting too long in my opinion to arrive.

I believe if Sony wants the game to turn to their side again they need:

1.- Backwards compatibility and PS2 games in the PSN (rumors aim towards this happening soon, so it's OK)

2.- RELEVANT price cut ASAP

3.- SCENE for the PS3

closing the gap ahahahah i wouldn't call a 8 million gap closing.

[ultimolu]

Lol, so very true.

[PantherDST]

The latest numbers I remember reading place the PS3 only 4-5 million behind the Xbox in terms of sales. Given the fact that the Xbox released a year earlier, that is not that big of a lead. I think a price cut will help speed up the PS3 closing the gap, but the gap is closing either way...

Owning a PS3 I'm in the market for a Xbox but for a second console they are too expensive... even at $199.

[-MD-]

It's closer to 8 million units behind actually.

[dorron]

Actually it's 8 million...and the fact they released the console 1 year after the X360 doesn't mean anything to developers. Fact is: 8 million less consoles sold RIGHT NOW...and that's what matters.

[Dead_Cell]

For some reason I read that headline just like that idiot Chris Crockers "OMG LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE" video.

[Sackdude]

The U.S press is against everything Sony dose, even with a price cut they will always bash the PS3, no matter how good it is...

i bet if the Price will drop, those US press will find another thing to bash sony, and prise MS.
