Tecmo is also asking for a price drop. Difference is they did it with more class and tact than Activision with their threat and ultimatum

CEO of the newly-formed publisher Tecmo Koei, Kenji Matsubara, has said he "would welcome a price cut for PS3", and has made his request known to Sony in past meetings.

"Whenever I discuss this with Sony reps I always ask them: 'Please cut the price', but I don't have a clear view on Sony's situation," Matsubara told CVG during an interview.


"Yes, from a publisher's point of view we would welcome a price cut for PS3, and we are waiting, definitely," he added.

"It's definitely a way of boosting the PS3 market, but it's Sony's strategy and I don't know their cost structure. Sony introduced cutting-edge technology in the PS3, that's why people in the industry accept that the PS3 cost is so high, but we'd welcome a price cut."

Well, at least they're nicer than Activision. :tongue:

Why didnt i get a thread about me wanting a PS3 price cut back in 2006?

Wait. I'm pretty sure SG didn't exist back then.

Well Cam you probably would've had one if you were developing two exclusive titles for the console.

SG's been around for a while but I'm pretty sure he's just saying that he wanted a price cut in 06. It was sarcasm.

Man, I'm not sure if I'd like to hear what Tomonobu Itagaki has to say about this.

I'd hate to see him agree with them.

This just makes Activision look like the spoilt rich kid.

Glad to see at least one publisher is on the same page as the gamers.

Of course publishers want a price drop. If a game is released multiplatform the more playstations out there the more games are going to get sold.

Every publisher wants a price drop to sell more games
Every gamer wants a price drop to buy a PS3
Sony doesn't want a price drop because they're still making a loss on the PS3
