Sony is standing its ground and won’t be lowering its PS3 pricing structure for the rest of the year, which means folks holding out for a cheaper PS3 might as well go ahead and get your system now. This is surprising news, since the Wii is still relatively cheap at $250 (albeit with scarcity issues still plaguing it) while the Xbox 360 line has recently received a fresh round of price cuts that resulted in a sales surge. Sony will be relying on the strength of its games to see it through these difficult economic times, but judging by what they have to offer, I would say that is a pretty tall order to follow. After all, heavy hitters like Metal Gear Solid 4 have already come and gone without making a significant impact in terms of hardware sales. Which console are you picking up this Christmas, and why?
