not guarunteed, still no games on the ps3 that will move systems, if anything the sales spike will be short lived.

We don't know if it is coming for sure so don't jump the gun just yet. The rumor was started by an xbox insider just predicting on what Sony will do.

The PlayStation name has already been dragged through the mud. A $400 PS3 isn't going to make much of a difference.

I'd be extatic...if I desperately wanted a blu ray player. As far as gaming machines go, however, the 360 need not fear.

It will sell better, but with the games the 360 has comming the rest of the year, i doubt it will be the death of it.

Really you act as if the PS3 was ever even worth $600 to begin with. Ps3 should have been $400 to begin with. But even at $400 it can't compete with the 360's Games and Online. All it can still do better is play a HD movie. So i don't see the treat to 360 at all.

Yes ps3 is getting a price cut says insider. I think i'll wait till sony says something. And whats stopping microsoft from dropping the price of the 360 again. If they do that then your back to square one for sony since microsoft has a larger library of games and is still cheaper than the ps3. Heck the 360 would still be cheaper than the ps3 even after sony's price drop.

actually sony probably cant afford a price cut right now SCE has lost a ton of money in the last fiscal year and the PS3 sells at a loss per console for sony.

2 games that were out a year and years before on other platforms, and average shooter, and an online only game with 5 maps that is pretty much broken right now. Go to the sony forums and see for yourself all the complaints about the connectivity issues with this game...... Keep lying to yourself :|

What makes you so sure that the Microsoft or Nintendo won't further reduce the price of their consoles? As they are making a profit on every console sold, both companies are in a very good position to shave an extra $50 off the Wii and Xbox 360 prices. The same can't be said for the PS3 - since Sony are still to break even, they can only drop the price by so much. Make no mistake, a $400 40Gb PS3 with will definitely shift systems, but there will undoubtedly be a counter-attack from the opposition.

For the Elite right? But most of the Xbox 360 owners will be "you can be them for $270" though who buys the core. It would help systems sells, that is for certain. The PS3 does have some good games out, but the console will become more popular when certain series start popping up on to the console (MGS4, FF13, R&C, etc.)

Yeah i guess it would sell a lot more than it is selling right now, but I dont know about crushing the 360 though. Moreover, I think Sony would go broke if they keep doing these price cuts with no quality games to back it up

Negative, Ghost Rider. Lems find many ways to bash the PS3. The price is but one piece of the bashing pie. I still have not seen good reason as to why I should believe the TC's claims.

The wii is doing something that the ps3 can't do and that is bring non gamers in trust me i know as my aunt and uncle bought a wii for themselves and not for my cousin. The ps3 doesn't cater to non gamers much like the 360. Thats why the wii continues to sell alot is because it is somehow someway drawing in non gamers that don't have a clue what a good game is.

Edit: Sorry lemmy i didn't mean to quote you i meant to quote the other guy.

Don't for get the super computer console that was supposed to be better. Only to be proven as worthless hype when the system can barely keep up with the 360. Facts are facts the proof is in the games not the "political"

IMO they should have kept the 60gb and just kept cutting that one down.

I got one on launch (didnt ask for it but enjoy it nontheless lol) and now they released a 80G and apparently another 40g...WHATS THE POINT? just keep the darn 60G model and cut it way down!

While each PS3 costs 900$ to make...Sold at 600$ that's a 300$ loss per PS3 for Sony. How does that leave them?
