PS3 price drop to $499

Posted by

Tough luck to me and all people who just bought it. The price of 60 GB PS3 will drop to $499 as the new 80 GB hits the market with $599 price. One of the main reasons for PS3 failure is high price tag so I wonder why they are bringing in a new expensive device into the market. PS3 is already not selling very well. Drop in price may encourage new buyers, but overloading shops with other expensive units does not make much sense to me.

The link above mentions figures about the low sales volume of PS3 (82,000 units) in May, compared to 155,000 XBox 360 and 338,000 Wii consoles. Now that the price of 60 GB PS3 is a bit close to XBox 360, we can expect to see kind of a fair fight.

Easy. Fanboys back them up now, going”It’s cheaper,” people say “Well screw it,” and buy, but some will decide to get the 80 GB one. Also, fanboys will probably part with another $600 for an extra 80GB. I see no deal from Sony about that. How very unlike Telltale Games.
