TGS: No "surprise" PlayStation 3 price cut, states Hirai
As has been widely anticipated, Sony has failed to confirm a PlayStation 3 price cut for 2007 during its Tokyo Game Show keynote speech this morning, with worldwide boss Kaz Hirai saying only that such a move is a "possibility" for the future.
As has been widely anticipated, Sony has failed to confirm a PlayStation 3 price cut for 2007 during its Tokyo Game Show keynote speech this morning, with worldwide boss Kaz Hirai saying only that such a move is a "possibility" for the future.
There will be "no surprise in this regard this year," said Hirai, referring to last year's TGS PS3 price announcement.
"Price is a very important aspect, but at the same time the urgent matter is to what extent we can further enrich the software titles," he said.
PlayStation 3 is the most expensive 'next-gen' console on the market, retailing at a suggested GBP 425 in Europe and USD 599 in the US.
