“Sony exec Ken Kutaragi just sent jaws to the floor over at Tokyo Game Show with an announced price cut of the 20GB PS3 base unit from ¥62,790 to ¥49,980 in Japan. Closer to home, we’d be looking at a move from about $538 to $428 (looking at current exchange rates) representing a drop of some 20% when the PS3 hits later this year, or uh, early next if the cut applies across the board. Not exactly cheap when looking at the Wii or Xbox 360, but that Cell processor, Blu-ray Disc player, and HDMI 1.3 output supporting Deep Color will certainly draw a premium. UPDATE: Price reduction confirmed for Japan only. Waiting on rest-of-world price cuts, if any.”
Now I might actually consider buying one. Probably not at launch but maybe after a couple months when the first wave has shipped. I already own a Xbox 360. I will defiantly pick up a Wii at launch. Things are getting interesting in the world of gaming.
