Not only is the new PlayStation 3 considered a little expensive for a console here in the States, but it seems like the PS3 may be a little too expensive for the peeps in Japan as well. Maxconsole, by way of Akibablog.net, shows that at least one retailer in Japan has cut their PS3 price by 20%. Maybe they're making room for a different color DS Lite that will inevitably drop.
PS3 sales in Japan have not just chilled but FROZEN. The problem of PS3's not selling in their native motherland has got so bad that retailers are cutting their prices by as much as 20% in a bid to move the systems. As soon as PS3 gets some good games, expect things to heat up!

I feel the same for my ps3. But I have money to burn (continues lighting ciggarrettes with 100's)
Honestly, expect this drought until FF XIII and MGS 4 hit the PS3. If those two games don't sell systems then nothing will and Sony will be in deep trouble.
Anyway can I buy one of those in play-asia or something. $325 for a PS3? I mean, seriously.
What the PS3 needs to sell is _good games_ thats it! if DMC4 is a hit, GTHD ships, Motorstotm gets fixed, and MGS4 is coming this xmas, the PS3 has nothing to worry about. But if they dont. well.. the ps3 is going to be a nice priced blu ray player (for better or worse) for another year or so.
that never fails to make me lol
