PS3 Price is Awesome

According to someone in CNN, the PS3 will sell for $300-$400. Obviously competing with the 360. The question is, of course, launch lineup. Also, at this price, how much will Sony lose on this machine?

Mr.Cool is an unknown quantity at this point
Sony is already loosing money with PSP, and I think that they are gonna loose money because they have so much more powerful stuff and it's near the price of 360....I don't think so.

I don't think so either, but at that price, if it's really as good as they say or even close, it'll be off the shelves VERY quickly.

Peter Lewis of Fortune has written up a little PS3 love fest that heavily quotes Sir Howard Stringer, the CEO of Sony, and drops a few juicy details on the forthcoming console. We have little doubt that the timing of this piece is meant to coincide with a certain console’s launch, but maybe that’s just us. First off, the much rumored price will be directly competitive with that of the Xbox 360, ranging from $300 to $400 at launch mid-next year, with the US launch to follow a few months later. The console will come bundled with games, movies, and TV shows, but we’re hoping those won’t be the only value adds for the different prices, and that a hard drive bundle might work its way in there, even though Sony has stated they won’t be shipping a drive with the console. Sir Howard Stringer also states right up front that Sony will be selling the PS3 at a loss to promote the Blu-ray standard, which seemed pretty obvious, but that won’t stop them from bragging about it. We’re not sure any of this will slow the current Xbox 360 fervor, but it’s good to know that Sony can still nab some positive PR.
