CEO Kenji Matsubara told CVG this week that “from a publisher’s point of view we would welcome a price cut for PS3 and we are waiting, definitely.” He also said he asks for the price cut whenever pricing comes up with the Sony reps with whom he deals. As more developers and publishers go public with price concerns you have to wonder when Sony is going to listen. It’s obviously getting harder and harder to justify developing for a console that has the lowest installed base of its generation yet remains at such a high price.

For now, Sony doesn’t want to do anything. Today, Howard Stringer said his company’s decision to maintain the price of the PS3 comes down to pure logic. “I (would) lose money on every PlayStation I make – how’s that for logic,” he told press at the Allen & Co. conference in Idaho.

Fine logic for now, Mr. Stringer, but you’ll probably lose your job if game developers drop your platform.
