Apparently, Sony is getting a little worried that they may have out-priced the market a bit when they launched the Playstation 3 at a cool $600 dollars right out of the gate, and are contemplating a price-drop for the holiday season.
Money quote: QUOTE Even Sony has admitted that part of the reason for this is that there aren't enough compelling games on the system, and the usually quiet summer probably didn't help. But it's nearly Christmas now, and that's the time when game companies really start to cash in. Many people, from buyers eyeing the console to publishers and retailers hoping to sell more games, feel that a price cut is just what the PS3 needs. Until now, Sony has avoided that option. Instead it has toyed with its line-up, replacing models and introducing new bundles while never quite bringing down the price. The article goes on to say that Sony will offer a scaled down, 40GB version of the game system for $400 dollars. That's a considerable price drop considering that the XBox 360 (which has outsold the PS3 in every month except the first month the PS3 launched) is $400 at it's most expensive. That's good news for holiday shoppers hoping to get this for the kids (or, let's face it, ourselves). |

Sony cut themselves out of a lot of sales. The much heralded intro of the PS3 was met with a collective jaw drop when they announced the price. We were excited about it until then and would have bought one. I guess they must have been going for the hardcore gamers, because I have no idea what would make them think the average person would pay $600 for a game system!
