Are they simply confident in their console or can they just not afford a price cut? (Pun intended)

Edit: Of course, they could also just be lying-- they ARE winning over people with recent releases such as Yakuza 3 and Killzone 2.

Not sure how reliable it is, so take it as it is.

Of course they wouldn't say anything about a price cut...they still want people to buy PS3 now instead of waiting for one

Seriously, they can't cut the price when they just started recovering from their loss. Are cows blind?

They can not afford to have a price cut. Sonty is losing far to much money. They are posting billion dollar loses while Microsoft and Nintendo are posting billion dollar gains.

Why would Sony confirm one, anyway? To have sales drop dead until the price cut?

Most companies would not announce a planned price cut, or people would stop buying and wait. Though the PS3 needs a price cut i think closer to the end of the year it might have one.

All I know is I heard about a price drop here in the forums and asked if it was real or rumor at this point. I was told rumor, but I am willing to wait and find out. I was going to get one last week, but decided to hold off to see if it does get a price cut. I will get one about mid April if there hasn't been more concrete word by then. Shot a $100 drop is two games.

Nah, 400 dollars for a gaiming console is too much. Laziness or work has nothing to do with it. Just because you can afford it, doesn't mean its worth the price. Complaining seems like the best alternative.

I'm not saying they will or won't, but they probably have taken notice to the large influx of people claiming Sony will be slashing prices in April or w/e. Naturally you wouldn't want people thinking your product was on the verge of a price cut otherwise nobody would buy it until it comes, so they have to deny it in order to maintain a consistent sale rate per week.

Honestly, i dont blame them, even if they arent selling as much as they would like, they are STILL selling. And now, with the reduction of production costs, they are only losing $50 a unit, if they drop the price, they effectively TRIPLE their losses!! I think they new people in charge know what they are doing, as much as we would like to see one, business sense says no, stock prices are low enough now, if they announce a price cut, it will sound and look good on the surface, but sony will pay the price shortly after because investors will sell stock, companies will start to question them, and it snowballs from there. They are stuck right now, but its better for them as a whole to REMAIN there until they can become profitable, looks like it may be late 3-4th quarter before that happens, but thats what they need to do.

lol i love this argument, when mine broke down i was moving house, so i sent it away before i moved and 6 days including weekend it arrived at my new place. If you think you had trouble i hate to think what changes you made in your life in the same week to warrant that response.

Well, its not like Sony would confirm, but they could've stayed mum on the issue and just wait a couple months. But perhaps the sales they were losing from the alleged price cut was too steep, so they had to lie and say there was none coming. Then there's the fact that they're just now turning a profit, or the fact that every analyst and their mom is saying to expect one in April... Ahh, its just too complicated!!!:cry:

I don't believe it for a second. Today at the store there were tons of PS3 games and about 90% of them have been slashed in price, even MGSIV. In this ever-worsening economy I think all games and systems are going to have to come down in price and soon.

People are not buying nearly as many cds, dvds, games, systems etc. People are selling cars left and right and giving up on buying luxury items. People are getting scared to spend their money and I don't blame them.

this,

I don't suspect Sony would confirm a price cut more then 1 month ahead of time, if even that.
