Although Sony wouldn't elaborate on exact figures, the 70% decrease suggests that costs have come down to around $240 (£146) per unit.

Sounds like what they were aiming for, now they can do a price cut and stay profitable.

While I do agree with the fact of not selling systems at a loss..DOH!...I hope that they will now pass those savings along to perspective buyers..doesnt really matter to me I have 2 ps3's.


But for little timmy and little jonny wanting a ps3 for b-day or christmas this is huge news. I think they would sell alot of systems pretty quickly at $299

 

[coneyparleg]

Cool!! This means in all likelihood a price increase and the release of the PS3 Jumbo will happen next week

 

[number1laing]

The other thing that is getting in the way of a price drop is strong yen. That could easily eat up most or all of the "breathing room" a price cut to $299 would give them.

I'm thinking $249 would sell a lot of ps3's!

$249 for current skus and $299 for the slim? That'd definitely sell more than a few consoles.

I concur.

 

[coneyparleg]

to sell more systems they should raise the price and give away free cool stuff like stickers for your backpack and skateboard

 

[joeblow]

Haha, no way they charge $250 for the PSP Go! and $250 for the PS3. $300 is the most optimistic adjustment IMHO.

 

[MaxDam77]

Great, I'm about to buy a new one anyways!

$299 seems like the most logical step. Maybe $349 if they want to be a little stingy. They could potentially sell an astronomical amount of PS3's if they dropped the price 100 bucks right before the holiday season. Plenty of great games on the horizon to help push the console too.

Not as many as $149!

 

[mboojigga]

I am still maintaining the price drop won't come until next year. Instead we will see more bundles. If they do price drop, it will be 349 due to the PSP GO just getting on the market when it launches.

Little Timmy and Little Jonny were playing on my grass yesterday. They don't deserve anything.

If you didn't notice no one thinks your jokes are funny. Just give up.

Let me guess--your mom yelled at you to get out of the basement and get some sun, didn't she?
