The Console War Heats Up: Sony Cuts The PS3 Price in Japan

[dimsum411]

The saga of PlayStation 3 goes on and on. This time, the good news is that Sony slashed the launch price of its next-generation gaming console, Play Station 3. The bad news is that the price cut is regarding only the Japanese market. According to Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi, Sony will cut the price of its basic PlayStation 3 model to 47,600 yen, or about US$410, from an originally planned 59,800 yen, or $515. Kutaragi announced the price cut at Tokyo Game Show and he also said that the move is an answer to customers complaints the PlayStation 3 was too pricey.

That'd wreck the 360. The price is why I feel like the 360 is winning :)

i seriously wonder why people would buy a PS3. But i know sales of it are going to be way more than the 360 just because of the fanbase.
