Sony committing career suicide with the new PS3
The Watcher:
microsoft are selling the xbox 360 for like $600-700 in australia, sony will do the same thing
these consoles are gonna cost them alot to make. microsoft did the same thing with the first xbox, and they hope that they sell enough games to make money on it rather than people pirating them
js83:
Trauma your assuming all this based on some bullshit info? sony didn't even announce the price for the ps3 yet...and why the fuck would they put a 700 dollar price tag on ps3? sony aint that stupid...
at most, ill bet its gonna be around 500 bucks...even then people are gonna buy it just cuz its SONY...they own the console market and i dont see that changing anytime soon.

If the $795 estimate is correct, the console could sell for around $699--within the range recently forecast by a group of analysts and developers polled by CNN/Money.

Bullshit info that I've known for a year now. Since the system was first announced, everyone in the industry has been doing the math and Sony can't build the thing for less than 900 bucks. Now if you think it's a smart business move to sell a system for half of what it costs to build, then that's one thing... but there's no way Sony's gonna survive a 4-500 dollar hit on each system sold. 200 bucks would be more believable. This thing will drop for around 600 bucks, maybe more. In my opinion the 360 is too much to pay for a system, much less what Sony wants.
Sony hasn't made an official annoucement because they don't know how to spin it. It isn't hard to figure out though, the Xbox 360 loses 150 bucks on every system sold, Sony won't allow themselves to lose much more than that.
