PS3 to shine in 2008? Not at US$599 for 80GB
By: Stan Beer
There's no doubt that 2007 has proven to be a wake up call to Sony. In 2006 the company was busy trying to bring to market the best combination gaming and home entertainment unit money could buy with a price to match. In 2007, Sony can claim lack of games has held back PS3 sales. However, in 2008 there can be no more excuses - if Sony doesn't get its pricing right, then PS3 has lost the games consoles match.

PS3 price: Europe wants Sony to show them the money
By: Stan Beer
Numerous reports have stated that Sony was losing up to US$200 per console when they were selling for US$599 in America and the loss was even greater in Japan. If so, then Sony certainly wasn't losing money on console sales in the UK, Europe and elsewhere in the world, where it has been selling for the equivalent of well over US$800 in most countries. Given the spike in US sales when the price dropped to US$499, will Sony drop the price in Europe?

Microsoft denies Xbox 360 price cut as PS3 tops Amazon sales
By: Stan Beer
The news that Microsoft is not going to drop the price of the Xbox 360 in response to yesterday's US$100 PS3 price cut is not really a surprise, though many analysts predicted a US$50 drop for the premium 20GB model. Microsoft probably does not believe a price cut would have any effect on sales, given the still considerably more expensive 60GB Playstation 3 is now the top selling video games product on Amazon.
