Quote me on this.. $50.00 price drop for PS3 incoming for the holidays. $249.99 120 GB model, $299.99 250 GB model and $399.99 250 GB/move console bundle. Makes perfect sense to me considering Sony has to have a console with a price range to compete with the new $199.99 360 AND they want to aim to the casuals.Maybe finally this can stop the Sony/PS3/PSP doomed threads lol:
Nikkei reports today that Sony will be posting an operating profit of between 10 billion and 30 billion yen over the April through June quarter. The company posted a 25.7 billion yen loss in the same period the year before.
As contributors to the turnaround, the site lists strong sales of product in China, strong performance of new SLR camera models, and strong performance both domestic and abroad for LCD televisions.
It looks like video games contributed as well. Nikkei states that Sony's games and mobile division reached profitability for the quarter thanks to cost-cutting measures.

[QUOTE="Yangire"]They dont gotz the $$$ to hype it, like M$ is. I expect the MOVE to flop sales wise but it will be better than Wii and Kinect non sense. Nearly all big PS3 exclusives go on to sell ATLEAST 2 million copies with little to no advertising.. LBP, Resistance, Infamous, Uncharted all had very limited to no advertising and sold excellent. Move will be no different. Sony thinks as it as a marthon not a sprint. Infact what MS needs to worry about is the abysmal sales of Alan Wake and the not so good sales of Forza 3. Especially Forza 3 considering Forza 2 sold in the millions and Forza 3 barely made it to 1.5 million if that.Sony needs to start hyping it already.
LOL-OMG-2
I think in Mid august is when the big coca cola/move campaign sony is doing rolls out.Sony needs to start hyping it already.
