Bossman of US retailer GameStop has expressed his concerns that the Sony console is ”just a bit pricey” right now as shoppers hunt for discounts.
Recently Sony proclaimed their black box ”future-proof” and far greater value for money compared to their add-on peddling competitors; Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii.
Many analysts are foretelling that Sony will face crippling times ahead unless they do something drastic to stop the money pouring out. The corporate giant seems to remain determined not to drop the price of their PlayStation 3, despite advice to the contrary.
”DeMatteo called Sony Corp.’s PlayStation 3 a “great machine,” but said it is just a bit pricey for the current economic environment. The cheapest Xbox 360, which comes without a hard drive, costs $200 and the Wii is $250. Sony Corp.’s 80-gigabyte PlayStation 3 console, which includes a Blu-ray player, sells for $400,” read the GameStop press release.
