Sony President Ryoji Chubachi may well have broadcast to the media that Sony will not cut the price of the PS3 but let's face facts - it's bluster. Sony will cut the price of PS3 by at least US$100 in time for the Christmas shopping season - but not to compete with Nintendo's Wii. On price, Wii will be a winner every time.
