Sony: We don’t give a f*ck about Microsoft price cuts, capice?
Thursday, March 13th, 2008
If you’ve been following the gaming news, analysts recently predicted that Sony are going to be worried after the Xbox 360 price-cuts as it may cause sales to dry up. Sony, always the optimists, say this is not the case. Which is no surprise, what is a surprise is that they give a resoundingly good reason. They say that PS3 sales will continue uphill due to the fact that it has Blu-Ray integrated into the system. While this may be true I’m not so sure as Blu-Ray player prices are, like the 360, falling.
If this argument proves to be correct then Microsoft will not be happy as the 360 cut was a snide attempt to undercut the PS3 not only in price but also due to the large volume of exclusive titles coming to the console. Looks like Microsoft will have to rely on their own hard-hitting sequels in the holidays. That, and GTA IV.
