Sony: PS3 price cut would "annoy a lot of people"

Sony's European president David Reeves talked PS3 price cuts and sales performance in an interview with the company sanctioned Three Speech blog on Friday.

"July is not really a gamers' month unless you get a big, big title. So we thought if we reduced the price, we'd annoy a lot of people," Reeves said when asked why the PS3 has yet to see a price cut in the UK.

"We're actually not doing too badly - we're not selling as well as Wii or DS - but seasonality-wise, compared to, say, PS2 at the same time we launched it in 2001, we're actually doing quite well on a regional level," he added.

Reeves went on to say that in the next 18 months, PS3 owners will receive several "spectacular" games. "These [titles] are going to come out and people will say: 'I have never seen anything like that before,'" he said.

THE VERDICT by Blake Snow Blake Snow's Avatar Just when Sony PR was getting better, this Reeves guy comes along and starts making even more perplexing statements like the above, not to mention last week's "firework" announcment hype and blowing the lid on the 60GB discontinuation.
