Sony's recent price cut to the PlayStation 2 raised some eyebrows, but today we're getting a better look at their strategy through an interview with John Koller on GameDaily. Sony's hardware marketing director commented that the new, cheaper price for the PlayStation 2 is intended to take market share from the Wii.
Not going to work. This assumes that the Wii's popularity is due to its low price, but in reality, the Wii is actually the second most expensive console out on the market at the moment and the only one that hasn't had any price drop or hardware upgrades since release.
