More ps3 speculation

What a rip, eh?

-Dan

I recall PS2 being like $600 when it launched here. I don\'t suspect PS3 will be any cheaper with inflation and all.

PS2 launched with a price tag of 4500SEK in Sweden, 360 (Premium) is available from 4000SEK (~500USD).

So I expect the PS3 will be available for 4500-5000, Xbox is pretty popular here so it could be a good idea to sell the PS3 for around that price, especially if the PS3 arrives as late as everyone is expecting (Q4 2006 or Q1 2007).

Though I\'d be willing to pay up to 6000SEK if that means we get to keep the old game prices of 499-549SEK, 360 games sell for 599-649. :eek:

I would get a 360 if that happens. There is noway I would pay $500 for a video game console. $399 is too much already.

then someone else would buy the one you left on the shelf

I don\'t think you have to worrie about that because ps3 will launch for less than $499.

doubt it. Gamespot had some poll saying it might cost $900 to make it. Not really sure if thats true, but if that is i dont doubt itll cost $500. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6144600.html

Ill probably fork out the extra $100. Been impressed with the games and the stronger system. You get what you pay for. BUT, if it gets above $500 i wont buy it.

maybe sony\'s being sneaky..say itll cost 500-600 bucks now, then when its released at $325 everyone will want one.





can wish...

I doubt that it will come in over $500. It just seems silly for Sony to do such a thing. I will still buy one but if it goes much over that I may wait. Then again I bought a 3DO. :rolleyes:

The news station here was talking about how sonys losing money and what-not and that they might sell the console from $300-400.

It doesn\'t matter, no company makes money off the hardware anyway.  Basically all the revenue comes from the games.

Yes they will lose about $200 - $400 per console sold, but Sony will make its profits on liscensing (everything PS3 has to have a liscense from Sony)  Game sales, periphial sales, and bluray liscensing/movie sales.

The PS2 lost close $200 per console sold at launch, and the original PSX lost money, but we al know how that turned out.

Analyst determine worse case scenarios so investors can get a better idea of how a company will do in the long run.

almost 4 years later, and xbox hasn\'t made 1 cent for microsoft

they account for this

I\'m hoping the XBox does well. Competition is good for everybody and gives us more choices.

That sucks i will have to get 360 now. I will be too bored not to have some system at home. My cousin brought a ps2 in the house. But I have not even wanted to play ps2 since I gave mine away.

I guess I will
