A leading video games analyst has predicted that Wii owners will 'likely' purchase a PS3 as their next console before Christmas, while adding Sony will slash the price of its PS3 system later this year.
Speaking to Reuters, Pamela Tufegdzic said: "We anticipate Sony will have another price slash on the PS3 this year, and come Christmas, consumers who originally bought the Wii will likely purchase the PS3."
Tufegdzic said she believes 2008 will see a turnaround for the PS3 and its future success, stating: "2008 will be a turning year for the PS3 - Sony is offering a better forthcoming software pipeline with blockbuster titles like Gran Turismo 5, which will boost PS3 sales this year."
Despite continuing to lose money on each PlayStation 3 console sold, Sony believes manufacturing costs will fall below sales prices this year.
