UK indie dev welcomes Sony’s long-awaited price drop
Nintendo and Microsoft should follow Sony’s lead and cut the retail prices of their consoles, says Philip Oliver, CEO of UK indie developer Blitz Games.
Oliver is eager to see the PS3’s lower RRP help stimulate the games market – which has seen its share of pessimism in recent months – but believes that the industry would ultimately benefit from a round of cross-console price cuts.
“The whole industry is hoping PS3 sales will increase and grow more of a market to sell games,” he told UK newspaper Birmingham Post.
“We hope companies like Microsoft and Nintendo will follow suit and drop the costs of their machines.”

Console price cuts
Anyone who does not think Microsoft and Nintendo wont follow Sony in cutting there console prices is a fool it will happen sooner than you think.
but surely...
Why should MS and Ninty drop prices. The only reason is to stimulate sales when things are slow. They haven't had half as much trouble shifting consoles as Sony. Surely by now everyone and their goldfish have a Wii and the only Xbox sales are surely ppl upgrading from originals to ones with HDMI output. Maybe MS should do a trade in system...old for new plus £50! I'd do that to get a HDMI xbox!
