SCEA: no immediate plans of PS3 price drop
Here’s something in case you wanted to dash your hopes of a PS3 price cut. Wanting to get at the bottom of the current rumors floating around of a price cut, VGChartz contacted SCEA for comment, and got this reply: “SCEA has no immediate plans to drop the price of the PS3 system.” Though of course, next week could also be interpreted as the not-immediate future.

As you know, NPD sales numbers for February will be announced today and will include Killzone 2 sales the first couple of days at retail. Given that the title launched so late in the month, we’ll see the majority of sales in March.
Killzone 2 experienced the highest presale numbers of any first party PS3 title to date and we anticipate that it will be a blockbuster for PS3 and the PlayStation brand.
Tricky with wording as always, with the presence of the word “immediate” there. Next week could be interpreted as the not-immediate future, really, so all hopes are not lost. And hey, at least we know that Killzone 2 experience the highest presale number of any first party PS3 title to date. Ain’t that neat. But then, we already knew that.
