Sony denies PS3 pricecut
Added on 19/04/2007.

In the last few weeks there have been various reports of Japanese analysts predicting a PlayStation 3 price cut sooner rather than later.

For example, Famitsu, a Japanese gaming magazine, reported that an official price cut from Sony was just around the corner. And they predicted a change in the supply quantity as well.

Today Sony responded to these rumours:

"PS3 prices and shipment plans for the future should be determined by market trends and competition. Sony currently doesn't have any specific plan to cut the PlayStation 3's price.”

Although this reaction is denying the recent rumours, we wouldn't be too surprised to see a price cut sooner than expected.

Has Sony fixed their problem with losing $200-300 every system they sell? If not they'll be screwed sooner or later

or was that with that 60gig thing?

They have cut the cost of the PS3 by taking things out and, canceling the 20 gig playstation 3, in late May they will be able to mass produce the blu-ray drives so that will also cut costs off the PS3.


By Q2 next year the price should be able to go down quite a bit.

I stilll don't think they will price drop for at least a year.

you know that sony is still regaining their money selling blu-ray discs right? plus they got way more than just gaming backing them up, they aren't like nintendo which is an all gaming industries where you got to make decisions carefully, sony can just lose tons of money and knowing how to back it up. plus they own half of the movie and music industry and one of the topselling television and electronics company. so if they aren't doing so good in gaming, they still got other things.
