Rumour: Sony to Announce PS3 Price Drop?
Posted on 27. Jun, 2011 by Freak_c in Games, News, Rumours
So I am marking this as a rumour just in case it is, although Sony’s track record with rumours becoming true is fairly high. But there are some reports that Sony is planning on announcing a PS3 price drop at the upcoming GamesCom this August. This would a welcomed announcement and surely will increase sales, even after the PSN debacle.
MCV is reporting that Sony plans on slashing the RRP of PlayStation 3 to £199.99 in the near future, with an announcement expected to drop at GamesCom in August.
Furthermore, the site notes that retailers may be prepared to further reduce the price of the console to as low as £179.99.
“£199.99 makes sense as it keeps Sony’s options open for another drop, but they could be more aggressive,” commented analyst Nick Parker. “Microsoft wants to be No.1 but I expect it is adopting a ‘wait and see’ approach with possible new value-added deals on Kinect.”
