Sony says again that PS3 won’t get a price cut this year
Sony has yet again confirmed that it doesn’t intend to drop the price of PS3 this year.
“As previously discussed we aren’t making any price moves this holiday season. In my opinion, we have the best line up of any PlayStation generation going into this holiday and consumers will be very receptive to it,” SCEA comms boss Patrick Seybold told Edge.
“With PS3 titles for this including Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet, SOCOM, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift to name but a few of our multiple exclusives, combined with PlayStation Home and increasing multimedia features for the hardware, we expect to have continued momentum going into and beyond this holiday season.”
It’s not coming down in price. See? It’s really not.

NO SALE!
What are the other exclusives which he alludes to, btw? That looks to be just about the whole list.
Edit: Oh, wait – Valkyria Chronicles.

I shall!
/hugs LittleBigPlanet.
Honestly though, I’m surprised they’re not cutting the price at all. Oh well.

It’s no surprise. They can’t cut the price, it would feel too much like they are giving the consoles away I guess, except they would pay even more to give them away than they do now.
Anyways, people with the means to buy it still will, especially when they fire up the Little Big Planet and Resistance 2 tv-advertisment bonanza.

Blerk: Naruto Ultimat Ninaja Stormu!
EDIT: I am angry and the PS3 is worth 10% of what it’s being sold for until ICO3 is shown

I am beginning to believe that Sony wants to lose the console wars…if they already haven’t.

It’s hard to actually say that, yet.
They haven’t even rolled out their advertising campaign for LittleBigPlanet yet, which will likely kick many people into that DO WANT mode they seem to have.
Couple this with their movie/TV series store in the US, which will soon arrive in the UK, and the fact that all future SOE MMORPGs (and some past) will be appearing on the PS3… and it all adds up.
The next year could be a very wibbily-wobbily seesaw ride for Teh Console Warz.

Why so defensive scuz? For someone that doesn’t care you’ve posted a fair few comments about 360 owners.

Yeah people said that last year. And the year before that.
