How do you know? Last we heard, it was costing $400 to manufacture a PS3, and that was at the beginning of the year.

abstract alien said:Sounds nice, ill pick up Uncharted if they fix the disconnected animation/environment interaction. GoW3 will be an amazing piece of work most likely, i just hope they dont screw it up with some sort of 30fps/slowdown type of thing.
drakesfortune said:Uncharted2! YES!! Now, give me Uncharted PSP.
I'm not sure Motorstorm PSP is a very good idea. I don't think it'll sell well. They'd be better of pumping the resources into GranTurismo PSP.
AranhaHunter said:Anything for the PSP is a plus right now, I would welcome a Sly Cooper PSP.
Fizzle said:I don't get what's so retarded. What difference does it make?
I know it might be different but I'm a developer for a Health Insurance company and there's always meetings and emails about cutting company costs, increasing marketshare, insurance prices etc, I think keeping the employees informed about the companies decision, plans and future is pretty standard.

Kagari said:Ugh. This 'Year of' meme has got to go.
Google said:It decreases confidence in the product.
If you didnt own a PS3, but kind of wanted one; walked into a store today saw it for $400, but knew it was going to be $250-$300 in a couple of months, and you werent too bothered about having one this instance, you might wait.
Then, when you go back in a couple of months, to pick up your $300 console, you might think to yourself, "Well, I might wait a couple of months for another price drop, because it's still not selling too well, and they're bound to do it, right?"
It's then a constant spiral over lack of confidence in the product and the pricing.
It was an internal conference (assuming any of this is true), not a price cut announcement.NameIess said:I wonder about the purpose of this info, because the news regarding games was conventional wisdom & the price cut info is horrible for holiday hardware sales.
Fizzle said:Yeah but I can't help it.
Resistance Motorstorm LittleBigPlanet
I've only ever looked forward to God Of War and that sold well, these 3 will convince alot of people methinks.
AranhaHunter said:IDK about that, MS dropped the price twice in one year and they're now beating or being neck and neck with the PS3 in Euro and Japan and selling twice as much in NA.
It sounds like he is going by how much the Yen is worth now compared the Dollar and the Euro...Kagari said:How do you know? Last we heard, it was costing $400 to manufacture a PS3, and that was at the beginning of the year.
AranhaHunter said:I've always hoped for a GTA SAS as that was my favorite GTA, and whatever happened to that Oblivion PSP game?

1cesc said:They lost money last quarter in the gaming division on the strength of the Yen. What else is losing them money if it's not the hardware manufacturing cost of the PS3? Somehow, I can't see the PSP or PS2 losing them money.
cartoon_soldier said:Also, I have been hearing "X will be the year of PS3" for 2007 and 2008 now. Its fine, I can wait another year.

Redd said:Hopefully the game announcements are true. I really need to get around to beating Uncharted before the sequel hits. Wouldnt' surprised if there's going to be a LBP psp game. Would love to take my LBP on the go. Be pretty cool if you could transfer your sackboy between the PS3 and PSP.
i do want it. it fits the portable machine perfectly, despite graphical compromisesClassic_Gs said:Motorstorm PSP, not sure if want.
Wollan said:PSN profiting over £150 million (~$225 million) for 2008 alone is pretty significant for a startup service that's free of subscription cost.

Year of Meme needs to go. >_>
Kagari said:What's more interesting is that Europe is now SCEI's biggest territory.
Fizzle said:Dude it's like clapping with one hand.
It's just not possible.
Unless Sony Say So
Schrade said:It wasn't. MGS4 would have done much better during the holiday season.
I figure it'll be their main holiday title with Uncharted 2 and Ratchet & Clank Future 2 as accompanying titles, much like LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, and MotorStorm 2 this year.Ether_Snake said:God of War 3 is probably March 2010.
solid2snake said:Europe is Sony-land, news at 11.
H_Prestige said:If they can get a $250-300 ps3 in time for GT5 they're going to dominate retail.
solid2snake said:a $249 PlayStation 3? with a 20GB HDD and no HDMI? a price-tag at $299 should be enough till the end of 2010.
neptunes said:HAHA @ PSP
It's amazing how it's still being sold
