Do any one you guys think that Sony will drop the price of the PS3 b4 it launches. I think they will.

It would be a smart marketing tatic.

Yeah but think of all the money they'll lose on it.

I've been thinking today.
Sony is weird. They're trying to give us tomorrow's technology. They're using technology that's not profitable to use, since it's too expensive to make.

I hope so, for me that is too expensive. Or I'll wait for a price drop...if it's significant...but still yeh

Re: PS3 will have a tough time. (interim E3 review)
 

I don't think they can or will.

I believe they need that money simply to stay afloat and not start losing money.

Re: PS3 will have a tough time. (interim E3 review)
 

I'm sure they're already losing a lot of money on that. Read my previous post. They put in technology that's too expensive to make (and then I mainly mean Blu-Ray, don't know about the rest).

Re: PS3 will have a tough time. (interim E3 review)
 

they dont make money on the consoles. they want to take a loss. the more people they get the console out to the more games will be bought, which is where the money is made. even more so this time for sony because they also want to get the bluray out and catching on, because if that catches on and wins out over HDDVD, they stand to make a lot lot lot more money.

Aye..

Re: PS3 will have a tough time. (interim E3 review)
 

Sony is paid millions of dollars in royalties from developers who make games for its console. The console price is never configured so that it would turn a profit.
