After doing some chart work:With the current cost :$600And the cost of production: $1000(Figures are estimated)After 100 purchases of the PS3 SONY will make a profit of $50,000If Prices were lowered to: $400then after 100 purchases they will make a profit of $30,000The lowest they could go would be $200 where they'll make a $20,000 profitBut on the other hand after 1000 purchases they'll be losing $40,000 when the price stays at $600So that's how it is. Only possible way I can see the PS3 price dropping would be if the parts used to make it went down in price. Otherwise we're all screwed.

Yes, I don't want to pay $600 for a console just for 2 games (Ratchet and Clank 5 and Kingdom Hearts 3). I really want one, I saw a video on YouTube and it's amazing, but, I don't want to pay $600. I'm definetly waiting for a price drop.

they will lower it , they are ganna have to, maybe not soon but one day they will realise that the other new systems are selling better than they are. like for example xbox 360. so sony is ganna have to lower alot of the price but i don't think they can lower it even if they wanted to cause they used high tec things, like it cost alot to make, so they are ganna rebuilt it with cheaper stuff i guess

You are certainly not alone in this one pal! Don't fool yourself it's production cost is more like 1/4 of whatwe're asked to pay for it and the games that'll come out will surelly cost at least 55$. Be my guest to getit if you're rich but i don't think any console can justify a price as high as that. I may be dying to get itbut i won't go as far as starve for that matter.

It's still a bit high, also, not enough interesting games are out, hopefully it drops to $350 when FFXIII and DMC4 are released 
it seems the only thing that keeps the PS3's price high is the fact that it has blue ray in it -_- otherwise, it feels like buying the tank of gaming consoles

I am, also that's why the PS3 isn't doing very well.And the games are worse than Wii's and PS2's. It just is not worth of the price.

I definitely don't think it's worth that much money. I'll wait a couple years and buy a used one maybe, because you know they'll come out with and enhanced version of it anyway.
