PS2 price drop by month's end?
What we heard: Toward the end of last year, many analysts were convinced that Sony would drop the price of the PlayStation 2 to $129 or even $99 to blunt the launch of the Xbox 360. As it turns out, that didn't happen. Year-on-year sales of the console rose 10 percent during the Holiday 2005 season, thanks to frustrated shoppers settling when they couldn't find an elusive Xbox 360. (The rise was also due to the fact that the PS2 was in short supply during Q4 2004.)
But even if a PS2 price cut doesn't happen this month, Sebastian is convinced one will come eventually, given Sony's desire to extend its current-generation console's life cycle."In our opinion, hardware price cuts are necessary not only to drive demand at the end of a console cycle, but also to bring the current-generation consoles within reach of more value-oriented customers,"he wrote. He also says a $99 PS2 is"likely"in 2007.
