I came across a news bit. It may appear that the buying public is still at odds with the PS3's relatively high price, with some consumers taking the stand not to buy the machine until the price drops. When asked if he feels any pressure to drop the PS3's price this year, Harrison responds, "Absolutely no pressure at all. I think that the reality of the market is that there's a great deal of software people want to buy, there's a great deal of software coming that will stimulate further activity in the market. We're very comfortable with the plan."

Does this seem inconsiderate and arrogant?

they are selling pretty good, and it just came out in eruope and it is setting records for how fast it is selling. The price is high but it has great value. They really cant drop the price right now, the ps3 cost to much to make. Now with the  360 elite coming out it will probably help sony. The elite show that the ps3 is not that much more money and it has more features like bluray! I dont expect a price drop till christmas  08 but small possibility of $50 price cut christmas 07 if it slows down in sales.

A lemming? I posed a question. that allows people to judge by reading and answer for themselves. By calling me a"lemming", you show far more fanboyism. Nice try, though. As far as the elite, it won't hurt their sales. The premium will still sell just fine. As for accusing someone a "lemming" about this post, you make yourself to be a hypocrite.

Certainly. But most corporations are arrogant and inconsiderate. The reason it seems like some are less so is because they have good PR departments.

So doesn't the fact that they wouldn't even try to conseal this mindset behind PR display even more arrogance than usual? Hasn't Ken whateverhisnameis made other questionable comments in the past? I don't want them to fail, but they need to be considerate.

They're probably just turning them into bombs.

So far, the entire unit has been a big bomb ;) Also, it's easy to see why they wouldn't support the 360. It's an American product and they probably see America as the evil empire that protects the jews(Israel). If they were judging by which is the best system, it would look alot more like American sales.

One more reason that the 360 dominates and another reason not to buy a PS3. GTA4, Virtua fFighterAssasin's Creed, Devil may Cry, and there's already a Final fantasy game on the 360. There's also that lingering rumor about Metal gear. All of these are big titles. I would be worried if I had bought a PS3 which I had briefly thought about. Maybe that's why they go crazy.Trashface

Very true, but Sony would have to keep the number of core models low. Options may mean the world to people on this site or others. However to rest of the world (you know the casuals), it's really going to cause some frustration. I'll be purchasing the premium though (once it gets a quieter drive), most 'affordable' HDTVs only have 1 HDMI port, and that's reserved for the PS3. ^_~

Nintendo gets it right again (for consoles), making one system is the best decision.

very wrong. if anything, it damages Sony. it gives Sony one less unique thing to offer. Also, the Elite gives you the option for these extra features. Sony forces you to buy extras.

you were saying ? LEMMING!

What I was saying was logical. How is that biased? I was actually thinking about buying a PS3 until I realized that there was no good reason to spend the extra money. I guess you think what you posted is proof that I'm biased. Call me silly game nerd names all you want, but what you posted from another forum was not biased and niether was this thread topic. If you can't go read the article and give a real answer, why even display your fanboyism here? I admit that I'm slightly biased, but this thread topic and what you quoted are not biased, they're logical.

lol 

 i feel sorry for guys like you who actually think bad PR does much.

 

Have you seen how much the ps3 is selling in europe in spite of it's price tag. For your own good, realise that not all gamers frequent these forums and buy gaming magazines. Even When i was in high school i used to buy game magazines to read up on the progress of the games i wanted not to see how Sony or microsoft were doing.

 

and "inconsiderate" ?  you can't seriously  describe sony like that whilst ignoring both the actions of microsoft and nintendo.

360 fanboys can damage control all they want but the elite is a slap in the face for a lot of people who've bough the green machine and crazily want all the little functions. 

And the wii, well  here's the funny thing: Nintendo could have created a console that was "revolutionary" and had a great gpu, but see they think that they can maximise profits by cutting back on one thing and showing off this cheap facet of the console as much as possible. i want 360 and ps3 to share the lead this gen.

You can use names like "kid" and "son" all you want. Internet tough guys are funny. My statements are logical and all you can say is "LEMMING". You shouldn't be taken seriously. Yeah it's system wars and I'm using real logic and a real news story. Instead of going to read and post an intelligent response, all you do is get offended and whine like an infant. More than likely, I'm older than you and by our words, I've displayed much more logic and intelligence than you. Why don't you go find someone in your league to bicker with. Unless you address the actual topic, you should go color or something.

You're quoting my posts, yet you have no point to make against any of them. If anything, you're "murdering" yourself. Also, I admitted to being a bit biased. Are you going to make a counter point or continue to advertise my logic? By the way, I'm not an elitist. I judge character by people's own words and actions. I just think names like lemmings or cows are silly.
