Sony lied?! Tell me it isn't so?!

Kaz Hirai of Sony is quoted to have said:
"Well, again, just from a hardware perspective, the 499 dollar price adjustment that we did for the 60 GB version, for the american market, uh, we're no longer in production for that product, so uh once that product is gone from the retailer shelves, then we're back to the $599 SKU only, so it's not like we have a two price strategy here in the US"

[PROOF]
=============
So Sony is pulling another bait and switch tatic. They have SO many unsold POS3 60GB that they are lowering the price in order to get them off the shelves and to make the 80GB model look more reasonable. LOL!!!

Tretton Gets Grilled on the PS3 Price Drop

Ok, so it's been a while since I've posted. But I just saw this video (thanks Kotaku)
and felt compled to voice some things. So let's get some facts going on here.
These quotes where taken directly from the movie above:
1) The PS3 has been out for about 8 months.
Ok, this is good, it takes about this long to really figure out where the market
is an how well a system is going to do. By now you should be able to see how
the long term is going to be for the gaming system.
2) Sony is betting that the PS3 will be around for 10 years or, at least, support
it for ten years.
Ok, So the PS1 was released (in the US) on 9/1/1995 so it was dead in 2005.
So we don't need to 'worry' about that system.
The PS2 was released on 10/26/2000.. so it's got 3 years to go, and there are some
newish games coming out for it. But I don't believe many of the main developers are
even thinking of developing for the PS2 any longer. Without new games it's going to
be a slow, lingering death of the PS2. The PS3 was released 11/17/2007, so it's got a
while. But with out any real 'new' development for the PS2, or updates to the toolkit.
Who cares about the PS2?
3) Sony has a history of passing on savings to consumers as quickly as possible.
*Blink* What? Ok, that's marketing BS as we all should know. NO Company
'passes on the savings' as quickly as possible. Business are in business for ONE
reason.. to make money.
4) Current Sales:
So the current world sales figures show the following:
Nintendo Wii: 2.8 million
Microsoft Xbox 360: 5.6 million
Sony PS3: 1.4 million
So this shows that the PS3 isn't selling anywhere NEAR what said it should.
(or what they thought it should.. Jack should have read my blog)
5) Sony believes they will sell an additional 10 million PS2's this year.
(so.. 10 million units in 5 months) and plans to convert those customers
to PS3's.
6) "The PS3 is still dominant"
There's nothing I can really say here that wouldn't leave me giggleing like a
12 year old that just saw his first set of real boobs.
Ok, so now we have the 'facts' here what they are telling me.
1) The PS3 has been out for 8 months, and sucks in the market
it's over priced, the games (mostly) blow goats, but it's a cheap
Blu-ray player.
2) 10 years? When processor power doubles every 18 months?
in 10 years we'll be looking at the Xbox 720, and the Wii2 (?? Mii2 ??)
the PS3 will be falling WAY behind on the tech scale by that time.
Just like how the PS2 is in comparison to the PS3 today.
3) Well, I guess I did say something about that above didn't I?
but still, savings my ass. it's about 'saving my ass'
Sony screwed up with the PS3.. totally and completely.
From the pricing to the lackluster games, to the complete
rip offs of XBox Live and the Wiimote. From all the broken promises
to all the flat out lies.
4) as for the sales figures.. well I still need to add an 'I told you so'
most of those figures where morons standing out in line.. getting shot
getting mugged waiting to sell the 'bad boy' on Ebay and quite a few
of them lost money. Even IF the PS3 sells another .5 million, it will
still be trailing the Wii. You and I both know Nintendo will pull all
stops around Christmas and you won't be able to spit with out hitting a Wii.
5) So, let me get this stright. You are telling me that the PS2 is going to
OUTSALE the PS3 this year? And, better yet, sale MORE then the PS3
in the same time frame?! THAT fact alone makes me wonder what monkeys
Sony has in place in the upper floors of Sony HQ, and what drugs they are on.
6) *sigh* Dominant? What facts out there lead you to believe that the PS3 is
Dominant? I just just see the dust that's collecting on the boxs at my local Frys.
Bottom line, the Drop drop will help sales a little. Sony screwed up the first round by over pricing the POS3 in the first place. But not enough to make Nintendo or Microsoft sweat.
I'm more worried about the long term effects of the PS3 on Sony's bottom line.
Over priced machine that isn't selling well. Takeing MORE of a loss from each unit
because of the too early price drop. There's just not enough time to get more units
into the household before christmas. Which is what I blieve Sony is trying to do.
The more units in the home before christmas, the more profit to be made during the
holiday season.
on a side note.. Does it upset anyone else that Sony believes their customers will buy anything
just because it has a PS logo on it? Converting all the PS2 customers to PS3.. What a load of shit. First.. if you are buying a PS2 now, it's because you can't afford a Wii or a 360. So what would make you believe that can convert those customers? Beyond that, Sony already dropped the BC (Backwards compatibility) in some units in Europe with plans to release those 'upgraded' units here in the states. Now why would I want to buy a PS2 now.. build up a library of some pretty great games, NOT to be able to use them in the PS3?
