...and thanks to them sorting out these production problems, Sony are being generous enough to introduce some savings too.

Sony is slashing the price of its PlayStation 3 games console by 17% in the US to boost sales.
As a result of the $100 price cut the PS3 will now cost $500 (£249), $20 more than the rival Microsoft Xbox and twice as much as the Nintendo Wii.

The Xbox and Wii have been significantly outselling the Japanese firm's PS3 in the US market.

The news came as Microsoft said it would not be cutting the Japanese price of its Xbox to lift lacklustre sales.

...

"Our initial expectation is that sales should double at a minimum," said Sony Entertainment America chief executive Jack Tretton.

"We've gotten our production issues behind us on the PlayStation 3, reaching a position to pass on the savings to consumers, and our attitude is the sooner the better."

OK, so that's cleared that up then... the price cut has nothing to do with lacklustre sales, no siree, no way, not at all. After all, that's what Chubachi said last week...

TOKYO — Sony Corp. has no plans to cut the price of its Playstation 3 (PS3) at present to pep up demand and counter surging sales of Nintendo’s rival game console Wii, Sony’s president said on Friday (July 6).

“At present we have no plans,” Chubachi told Reuters when asked whether Sony had any plans to cut the PS3 price.
