Although SCEA won't follow Japan's pre-launch price cut on the PS3, analysts John Taylor (Arcadia) and Michael Pachter (Wedbush Morgan) believe the price will be dropped next year, possibly as early as spring. They also both examine the decision to drop the PS3's price in Japan. More within...

Ah so they DO want to sell PS3's afterall.
I'm sure they will announce that with the price cut, you will have to pay $100 for PS Live, no wifi nor HDMI and games will be $99.Quote:

Just like the PS2 had a huge problem this last gen from Xbox and GC. Oops.Quote:
Pachter also shared with us some interesting comments from SCEA President Kaz Hirai: "In so many words, Kaz Hirai said to me, 'Resistance: Fall of Man is 20 gigs. We think that when developers start recognizing the potential for this box and start building these kinds of files, they're going to do it first for PS3 and then dumb it down for the 360, and you're going to see the difference between PS3 games and 360 games.' And if he's right, then Microsoft's got a problem."
If Resistance is really up to 20GB, there's gotta be some bad coding or uncompressed textures or something, because it doesn't look visually any better than GRAW and that fits on a DVD just fine.
If games really are 20 gigs, then they can put it on 2 DVDs for the 360. Why is this even being brought up? We all played 4 and 5 disc games on PSX and liked it, dammit.
From what I can see, games are gonna do stuff like have all the languages and all region stuff in one blu-ray disc. Cool, but hardly groundbreaking or essential.
Hah hah, that quote at the end is awesome. "If Kaz's marketing BS is true, Microsoft is in trouble."
