    Sony say PS3 price was mis-interpreted

    Ah...Sony are saying that the pricing that was mentioned by George Fornay in a recent interview was misunderstood.

    Check out the Headline for more info.

    Obviously, but whether it was understood or not, I cant see the PS3 being under 349.99 of your english pounds, most likely 399.99 despite the 'misinterpretation'

    whys that? i'd have thought it'd end up the same price as the premium 360 package to remain competitive.

    I think the price will be alot more than the 360 mainly due to the fact that microsoft are a bigger company and they can afford to make lesser profit margin but this is just my personal opinion and may be total rubbish ..

    First of all, MS dont mind making a loss, the Xbox, apart from the couple of months it launched I dont think its ever priced more than the PS2, despite being newer and having better tech inside.

    Apparently, each Ps3 is goin to cost 900$ each to make, which is about 500-550 quid - Although they must these days expect to make a loss on a system, they of course will try and minimise it, matching the X360 price of 280, would be a loss of the cost of them system on each sale if sonys figures are to be belived, and blue ray doesnt fall in price ridiculously (Dont see why Sony, seing as they make blue ray cant just knock them out for cheap as chips, the drives are the same as a DVD drive that costs pennies now to make, bar a laser, which cant be too much if mass produced?) , anyway, so id say at least 300, probably 350, and possibly 400+, even at 400 theyll be making a loss (Apparently) but nowhere near as much as if they sold it at 280. 350 would be a compromise as I think the amount of people buying it at that price and buying software for it would be just about acceptable without being too pricey

    The PS2 was not making profit at the start and for quite a long time - now I think I heard they are sold at cost of making them - still relying on game sales for profit.

    still cheap, as from what ive read the first load of blu-ray/HD-DVD players will be around $1000, it was on the the inquirer though, so it may *not* be true

    its just a different laser than dvd isnt it ? seing as sony invented it surely they can charge what they like for it? charging loads and making the 3rd party bd players absolutely exspensive, and releasing their own absolutely exspensive ones to make it look like a really stupidly exspensive format

    then bundle the ps3 with said laser, sell it for half the price, but still a fair whack that its competitors, and claim its 'cheap' when its just similar tech to the 360 with a blue laser beam inside

    Companies rarely make profits selling the hardware, they catch up big-time on mass software sales. If you think that one person buys one console, they then buy say.. 5 games each costing about 30 quid, that should easily cover losses made by the console. Whether Sony will cut the prices on the PS3 however, is debatable.
