Sony does not "hint" or release statements on price cuts before their official announcements. In fact, they like to deny them until the very day before their official announcements just to throw you off their trail. As plausible as all this stuff sounds, it's probably bogus that they actually said any of it.

The thing that gets me is that Jaffe said the same thing about GoW 3. Hmm...

Sony can't afford a price cut. They're still losing money on the PS3.

If uncharted 2, GOW 3, Killzone 2 all hit the PS3 in 2009, Sony might have 2009 for sure. But I havent heard anything on Uncharted 2 being a 2009 possibility. MS can manage against just GOW 3 and Killzone 2.

Can't wait for Uncharted 2 and GoW 3, and I'm interested in seeing what LBP and Motorstorm on PSP will end up like. I'm just hoping that they're not watered down ports of the PS3 versions.

i doubt it. well they will most likely be quite the same - seeing as the gameplay is pretty normal when it comes all round - ones a platformer which gets u creating stuff and the other is basicly at the core a racer. they might be enough new so there not the same game - but dont expect anything marvelous.

announcing a price cut 4 months before it actually takes place is always a bad move.

To each their own I guess, but I enjoyed Uncharted more than Orange Box and Bioshock combined, so of course I'm excited for the next one.

Didn't MS just say they were ahead of PS3 in PAL region due to their price cut? Also I wonder if the future price cut they mention in the article is for PAL regions since it was a SCEE conference.

Outperforming =/= Sold more. I live in Europe..Ps3 is doing better..although right now it's 50/50 because of how cheap 360 is. Regardless of how it's doing in europe the difference in the NA market makes up for it and the JPN sales are too small..so 360 wins worldwide week in and week out and has been for the last few months. Not to say PS3 isn't doing bad..it's doing very well at that price point. I'm buying a PS3 next year for Gow3. It will be cheaper by then.

This Its financial and commercial suicide to announce a price cut 5 months ahead of it. Why the hell would you buy a PS3 now when you can wait and get it $100 cheaper?

All the information aren't anything official. They are all leaked so it's quite clear that Sony didn't announce a price cut for March. Everyone who really read the article would know that an insider leaked those information.

id agree........but remember we are a vocal minority.

Most normal people in the real world have 0 idea and will buy PS3 the week before the price cut.

The first time I have to agree with you Ram :P We "hardcore" gamers (we are on a videogame forum so I assume we are all in some kind hardcore :X) are a minority. Most people who are going to buy a PS3 aren't into forums and videogame sites that much.

which is why Sony posted a 400 million loss from July-September.

Nice try spinning the sony PROPAGANDA machine.

You'd be surprised how many people will ask someone in the know about this or do a quick internet search, especially in the current climate. Its why neither MS or Sony have ever announced anything about a price cut before they do it, indeed they vehmently deny it until its close. Not saying it won't happen (March probably would seem about the right time) but I just find it unlikely they would have confirmed it.

You might be right. But as I already mentioned it is nothing official. It's an information from a company intern meeting in London and someone who was there leaked those information. So it's still very unclear wether there will be a price cut or not.

I really hope thats true......cause I want 360 to milk this price war as much as possible. We all ready have a 6 million lead and will make it 7 come march. If its untrue and the PS3 price cut is later in the year, thats even better.

but sadly these rumors turn out true.

But please remember the 360 had one competition-less year ahead so it's clear that there are more consoles sold.

LBP and LBP - PSP are not going to be the same game, just like COD4 on X360/PS3/PC is not the same as COD4 on DS

Our source tells us that SCEE President David Reeves took to the stage to discuss the current economic climate and how it shouldn't affect PlayStation business, though was quick to mention that SCEE will be getting more competitive in price from March 2009 onwards.From_the_Link

Hmm, thats contradicting itself in the same sentence.  Sony has said alot that they aren't dropping prices.  Although every says that so I guess you shouldn't take it to heart.  However, I will say that the last time they got more competitive in price, all they did was throw in a bigger hard drive and keep the price the same.  This may be a bundle and not a 100% official price drop, although if its bundled with a high quality game (say LBP, MGS4, Resistance 2, etc) its effectively a price drop since the unspoken price of every console except the Wii and recently the 360 is that "*games sold seperately" on the box that everyone often forgets about when saying how much a system cost.

Sony Europe has declined to comment on the supposedly leaked contents of its staff annual briefing, dismissing the D+Pad report as "rumour and speculation".

All of this is very likely true. 2009 should be awesome.
