Analyst says YES! to PS3 price cut, Sony says NO! |

Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey has joined the ranks of analysts predicting a PS3 price cut. According to Hickey, "recent channel checks indicate increased speculation for a PS3 price cut announcement from Sony in the next couple of days."
Hickey thinks that a US$ 100 price cut is the cure for Sony's PS3 problems. Know what Sony said in response? You guessed it. A Sony spokesman told GameDaily that there is "definitely no price drop on PS3" being planned at the moment. The spokesman also said that for Sony, it's not about price but great games, content and services.
That's not all Hickey had to say, however, and I warn you, we're gonna tread into the realm of the kinda absurd here. Apart from the price cut, Hickey also mentioned that they have heard speculation that Sony is planning to come out with a non-Blu-ray PS3 console.
See? Yeah, sure, they can make it, but who would want to buy a PS3 that can't play PS3 games? I don't know what the speculators Hickey heard were smoking, but I think I want me some of that.

While the Wii, which chose to not play DVDs, one of the PS3's main selling points has always been "By the way, its also a blu-ray player..." Not to mention that PS3 games are on blu-ray discs anyway.....
Stupid.

No built in wifi, 1 usb port, no hard drive.
That would save them a bit. It would basically be an Xbox Arcade, but still better.

As for everything else. Sure, they could do it.

Even though Sony developed the Blu-Ray format, I'm sure that there's some kind of royalty paid somewhere on every unit made. It's a stretch, but I'm sure it would cut prices a bit.
Another possible cut would involve downgrading things like the graphics and sound processors to limit video resolution and audio output. The PS3 has extensive digital audio capabilities, some of which are licensed formats which could be cut out. Essentially, the stripped unit would be a PS2 with a hard drive and the ability to play PS3 games at 480p.

What's next? Is he going to tell Microsoft to "lower their prices for the 360. I mean what's wrong with a normal CD-Rom? The PSOne had that and that was brilliant!"
Dear Mike Hickey: Next time you hear 'speculation' about something, try researching it to determine it's reliability before publishing it!
